Yosi Hoshen asked for suggestions for getting involved on the pro-choice
side of the abortion issue.  There are pro-choice groups who are actively
countering the anti-choice attacks on our reproductive rights.  I am
active in NARAL-NC, the National Abortion Rights Action League in North
Carolina.  NARAL has chapters in 38 states, with a national office in
Washington, DC.  ( I don't have the address handy but will be happy to
mail it to anyone who is interested).  NARAL, like many other pro-choice
groups, is a single-issue, grass-roots political organizing group.
All of our funding comes from our membership.  We spend that money and
our time and energy on educating people about the issue, organizing and
motivating pro-choice folks, legislative lobbying, and political
campaigning for pro-choice candidates.  Unfortunately, the anti-choice
groups are able to raise more money and volunteer time than we can, in part
because their membership is highly motivated and emotional about the issue.

Yes, our reproductive rights are being threatened.  Yes, there is
something, a lot of things, YOU can  do about it.  Money, time, energy,
ideas are all needed.  Find out who the prochoice groups are in your area,
phone them up and ask them what they need.  Knowledge about computers
is currently in demand as a powerful organizing and communtications skill.
 
Yours in the fight to keep abortion safe and legal,

Sherry
