(23,321 posts)PP uses it as well?
I don't "do" events, just not comfortable in big social situations. PP does good work, and I send money to their local office occasionally.
I hope the events were friendlier than the committee roast today.

(13,390 posts)It was huge here because of an insult to injury factor. After the chancellor at MU revoked the privileges of the only Dr. who performs abortions in Mid-MO, students, alumni, faculty, staff, politicians, and locals turned out to confront him....
You arrived here a year ago and you just made a really big mistake, Laura McQuade, president of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, said of Loftin.
The rally is just the first step, she said. During the rally, participants were asked to sign a petition demanding the university reverse its decisions. Other actions will follow, McQuade said.
We are going to turn up the heat on you so far you are not even going to know what hit you, McQuade said.
After the rally, McQuade said no specific plans have been made. She has said legal action may be one avenue.
We will know by the end of the week" in "what direction we will be moving, McQuade said.
Schaefer, chairman of the Senate Interim Committee on the Sanctity of Life, has used his office to bully the university, said Phillip Wood, a professor of psychology.
I know that some of you are angry, angry not only at the politicians who will say anything and pull any stunt in their naked lust for political power, Wood said. I know that you are angry at administrators who are too cowardly to step up and do the right thing.

(17,997 posts)I'm glad you had a large turn out. I'm glad you are fighting back against that. What a douchebag!
We had a pretty good turn out, especially considering we were in Fremont and not one of the big cities around here.
I'm going to post pictures tomorrow.
