feminist historian

"Do you really believe ... that everything historians tell us about men – or about women – is actually true? You ought to consider the fact that these histories have been written by men, who never tell the truth except by accident." — Moderata Fonte

Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm a huge ass history nerd. I'm a women's historian.I study European women's history (1500-present) and US history (to 1865). I blog mostly about the history I study and feminism.

I saw something on tv that horrified me just now.

ladyatheist:

I was laying in bed and the tv was on The Rachel Maddow Show. She was talking about the pro-life movement and I wasn’t paying much attention until she spoke about a website Operation Rescue has set up. They have compiled a list of abortion providers and clinics and put them online. They list the doctors full name, a picture, address, their medical school, and the clinic they work at. They even put all of this on a map so if you need directions, they’re right there.

Now, in their mission statement, they say they want them to be “stopped through peaceful, legal means”. I call complete bullshit. This distinctly reminds me of the “wanted” posters they used to hand out. Look at how many people were harmed and killed because of those. No good will come of this. I am absolutely horrified that they would even think this was a good idea.

They can’t get away with this. I refuse to believe that this can be entirely legal. They have to be stopped. This is getting out of control. How many more people have to die before we all wake up and realize that they are dangerous.

If you want to let these people know exactly how you feel, you can contact them by email (abortiondocs1@gmail.com), phone (316-683-67900), fax (916-244-2636), or mail (Pro-Life Nation/OR P. O. Box 782888 Wichita, KS 67278). I feel that by spamming their email, phone, fax machine, and mailbox it’ll be a lot harder for the more harmful information to get through.

One, possibly good, side effect of this website is if you need an abortion this site has a pretty comprehensive list of clinics. Just sayin.
