Anti-[Choice] Activists Plan To Harass Women With ‘Empty Manger’ [Holiday] Caroling

Posted on by

This holiday season, anti-[choice] activists in several states are renewing one of their favorite traditions: harassing women in front of family planning clinics with mean-spirited [Holiday] carols.

RH Reality Check reports on the antics of [Anti-Choice] Wisconsin:

Yes, for the few days leading up to [Holiday], [Anti-Choice] Wisconsin has pledged to deck the halls, or at least the sidewalks, of Wisconsin clinics with [Holiday] carols for the “empty mangers” that will exist due to [choice].

Via their website: Last year’s Empty Manger [Holiday] Caroling effort was so popular, we’re doing it again this year, and in more cities to boot! What better way to bring the joy of [Holidays] to a place where [choice] abounds?

Meanwhile, the [Anti-Choice] League’s website lists a jam-packed schedule of anti-[choice Holiday] caroling in the Chicago area. Events are also listed in Birmingham, Alabama, and several California cities.

In the true spirit of the holidays, women who need help from reproductive clinics will now have [to] face a swarm of religious ideologues who have turned their condemnation into song for the occasion.

Please note the bracketing; do not allow the reactionaries to own the language!

Emma Goldman Occupies Wall Street

If ever there was a life that embodied the spirit that is driving the Occupy Wall Street movement it is that of Emma Goldman, who went to jail in 1893 for having stood on a soap box in Union Square in the midst of one of America’s worst depressions and, pointing at the mansions on Fifth Avenue, implored 3,000 unemployed men and women to ask the ruling class for work. “If they don’t give you work,” she cried, “ask them for bread. If they deny you bread, take it!” These words made those listening to Emma erupt in thunderous cheers; they also made J. Edgar Hoover describe her in 1919 (when he was urging the government to deport her) as The Most Dangerous Woman in America.
