The counter protest

If you are still on the fence about attending the Unite for Life event this coming Saturday, I hope this will sway you in the direction of saying YES and that you will decide to be a part of this important day.

There is a counter-protest forming, and it is imperative that they are completely snuffed out by the CROWDS of pro-lifers who gather.  

Here is the invitation that the counter-protesters have sent out via Facebook:

An ANTI-CHOICE group called "Unite for Life" is planning a little get together that they claim will be the "biggest gathering of pro-lifers in Houston ever."

Invite your friends! Bring your posters! Bring your voices!!! Let's show these fundamentalists that freedom of reproductive choice is HERE TO STAY!

For more information about THEIR event and their organization visit: http://uniteforlife2010.org/

A few of us will meet up at UH (in the parking lot of the stadium on Holman and Scott) at 9:00am and carpool, if you would like to join, or volunteer your car for carpooling, please comment here or email SFOatUH@gmail.com or contact Amanda on facebook!

**IMPORTANT**
The Unite for Life group is planning to march to Planned Parenthood, HOWEVER, Planned Parenthood has asked that we do not protest at their site to avoid extra conflict and/or confusion for their patients. We will be protesting at the Catholic Charismatic Center ONLY, so lets make it big!!

Here are some chants that I hope will pump you guys up:

Not the church, not the state,
Women must decide their fate!

Gay, straight, black, white,
All unite for women's rights!

Right-to-life, your name's a lie,
You don't care if women die!

No more back allies in the night,
For safe abortions, we will fight!

Pro-life men have got to go,
When you get pregnant, let us know!

Clap your hands, raise your voice
The USA is pro-choice!

Hey, hey, ho, ho,
Right-to-life has got to go!

What do we want? CHOICE?
When do we want it? NOW!

Our bodies, our lives,
Our right to decide!

Hey, hey, mister, mister,
Get your laws off my sister!

Back alleys, no more,
Abortion rights for rich and poor!

1,2,3,4, Open up the clinic door!
5,6,7,8, Don't tell us to procreate!

1,2,3,4, We won't take it anymore!
5,6,7,8, Separate the church and state!

2,4,6,8,
Abortion rights in every state!

9,7,5,3,
You can't take these rights from me!

7,5,3,1,
We won't stop until we've won!

Pro-choice united
Can never be defeated!

Women united
Can never be defeated!

We say pro-choice,
You say no choice!

Ho, ho, hey, hey,
Abortion rights are here to stay!

Repro rights are under attack,
What're we going to do? ACT UP, FIGHT BACK!

Stop your hatred, stop your violence!
Pro-choice voters won't be silent!

This is what democracy looks like,
This is what democracy looks like!

Men and women sing this song,
Roe v. Wade must be kept strong!


In addition to committing to come to the Unite for Life event, we need to all pray specifically for the organizer of this counter-protest, Amanda Williams, and for all those who are planning to attend.  We need to pray that there will be all sorts of barriers placed in their way and that their protest is completely ineffective.  Let us pray that the hearts of those participating in the protest will be changed!  That they will see the truth, and see US for who we really are - compassionate, faithful servants of Christ, not hateful fanatics.
