Wednesday's Superstars!

Why is the "Vegan Vixens" team bowling?

"We believe that abortion is a political pawn in a fight to control women's bodies..."

Why is Dawn bowling? Her answer's very succinct: "[I] rock and so do[es Chicago Abortion Fund]". She's pretty far from her goal- can you help with a donation?

Tuesday's Team & Bowler of the Day!

Why is Affinity Community Services, an LGBTQA group, bowling for abortion access?

"Affinity Community Services signed up because Gaylon Alcaraz is an incredible leader and activist. And the work that the Chicago Abortion Fund is pivotal in terms of women's reproductive rights and human rights. At ACS we stand in solidarity with those engaged in the struggle for women's reproductive rights and human rights. If you are not free, then neither are we. If you do not have the right to choose then neither do we. And so we must all stand together! Our name corresponds to our celebration of 15 Years of Wellness, Leadership, Artistry, Organizing, Activism, Advocacy in LGBTQA Communities."

Will you help them meet their goal?

Today's bowler of the day is Jo Pollock, of the Vegan Vixens, who speaks of being a high school counselor on her page.

She's $40 away from her goal, can you help?

We're having a Bowl-A-Thon!

And we want to highlight some of our lovely participants!

Today's Team:

Why is the "Stupak is a Pin-head" team bowling? Glad you asked!

"We are a group of college students bowling for abortion access because abortion is health care, and access to health care is a human right. Therefore, access to abortion is a human right, and we are proud to support programs which help women exercise their right to choose."

They're $185 away from their goal- can you help them?

Today's Bowler:

Why is Anne Elizabeth Moore bowling?

"My own abortion in 1994 was undertaken as a public education project, despite that I was in the conservative state of Wisconsin just as the backlash against feminism was gaining momentum..."

"The A Word" - February- is up!

Due to computer difficulties, we're a little behind in uploading this year's episodes of our public access call-in show, "The A Word." I'm uploading them all as quickly as I can edit them!

Here's part one (of three), from February- Brittany, part of the My Voice My Choice Leadership of Chicago Abortion Fund (CAF), interviews me, the Client Services Coordinator of CAF. I talk about the recession's effects on the fund.
