Wear pink.

Tell people that PP does not receive government funding for abortions. Title X funding, which is carefully audited, provides diagnostic services, birth control education, and many other things, but NOT ABORTIONS. To divest PP of Title X government funds will result in more unwanted pregnancies and MORE ABORTIONS.

Tell people that all of the non-religious hospitals in this country--including hospitals that have saved their lives and their loved ones lives--provide safe abortions and donate fetal tissue for research.

Tell people that the videos and photos that started this right wing-incited avalanche of fear and ignorance are proven to have been maliciously edited for that very purpose.

Tell people that, if they have a religious or moral objection to abortion, they do themselves no favor by basing their arguments on the shaky ground of deception rather than on the bedrock of their beliefs.

Wear pink.
