Anti-Equality Advocates Brag About Flipping Polls Against LGBTs

Anti-queer activists in NJ are bragging about their ability to mobilize their base to flip polls that show support for marriage equality.

Show them that we’re just as motivated!

You want a physicist to speak at your funeral….

thereisafish:

You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.

And at one point you’d hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.

And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives.

And you’ll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they’ll be comforted to know your energy’s still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you’re just less orderly. Amen.

The girl had no legal access to abortion in Pennsylvania, where her parents must consent.  This is the direct consequence of anti-choice zealots: taking away what dignity, respect, and alternatives left were left to a 13 year old who is being controlled, manipulated, and raped by someone more than twice her age.  Way to go “pro-lifers”, what an awesome accomplishment: empowering rapists like Michael Lisk over 13 year old girls, leading her to desperately jab herself with a pencil.

What happens when safe abortions are illegal.

“this girl needed a safety net, and she did not have one.”

She did not have one.

This is what anti-choicers are pushing for. This is what happens when people are desperate, and when the making of their own choices are criminalized. This was someone who was already likely felling like she was unable to talk to the people that were supposed to be looking after her, being a rape victim and all the social stigma and baggage that can come with that. And this scared fucking little kid had the option to birth another kid and deal with the shame that would undeniably get heaped on her for the rest of her life, or try what she did in a last ditch effort to hold on to what little semblance of a normal life she could. Take a long hard fucking look “pro-lifers”. This is exactly what happens when the policies you’re pushing for are put in place - people fucking die. End.

PA has an F- in abortion resources.

fuck my state
