If you hate the way that women are not only raped but then blamed and shamed for being raped...

If your blood boils at the knowledge of millions of women bought and sold and abused and degraded in the global sex industry...

If you want to puke when you hear Christian fascists moralizing that women should "keep their legs closed" and you want to scream when you hear of another abortion clinic being attacked, another doctor being stalked, another law restricting women's right to birth control or abortion being passed...

If you are infuriated by how pornography has become more violent, more degrading, more cruel, and more humiliating towards women even as it has become more and more mainstream...

If you are sick of the way women have been trained to hold their tongues, suppress their rage, and remain silent in the face of this all-out war against their lives and their humanity...

ALL THIS MUST BE STOPPED!

* RESIST THE CULTURE OF RAPE AND PORNOGRAPHY

* STAND UP FOR ABORTION RIGHTS
