They are not feminists; they are not interested in social justice. They're just small, spiteful individuals who like the adrenaline high they get from lobbing verbal dungbombs over the wall of internet anonymity and into the laps of those unfortunate enough to find themselves in the audience. It bothers me to no end that these kinds of comments are taken to represent the "pro-choice" side of the abortion debate when it comes to the intersection of disability. In no way do these scumballs represent me. You, on the other hand, can represent me any day, Alison Piepmeier. Amazing work.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536074798005511425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217750984500164269.post-25066134984831863092013-04-04T19:04:02.536-04:002013-04-04T19:04:02.536-04:00Great piece, Alison.

I like this approach. You're directly confronting people with resources and information. I think that's a smart approach when talking to people who haven't yet had the notion to challenge their own beliefs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217750984500164269.post-21827083901194120672013-04-03T22:32:44.970-04:002013-04-03T22:32:44.970-04:00I posted about you today and am standing by, armed...I posted about you today and am standing by, armed and loaded.
