I mentioned in Tuesday’s open thread that NARAL Pro-Choice Washington’s Chocolate for Choice is tonight. Even though Goldy isn’t one of the guest judges this time, I feel compelled to mention that it’s one of the best events of the year. Obviously, you support an important organization that has done so much to push for legislation for reproductive health in Washington State. In normal times this is important, but as states push more and more abortion — and even contraception — restrictions, it’s more important than ever.
But God knows we’ve all been to awful fundraisers for great organizations. This one isn’t one of them. You don’t sit through a bunch of boring speeches, at a table with people you don’t really know. Local chocolatiers donate chocolate that you can sample, and take home. There aren’t tables that you have to sit at, and while there will be some speechifying, it’s kept to a minimum every year I’ve been.
This abortion issue was decided decades ago. Abortion is legal. End of discussion.
@1 Have you ask that of Justices Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Kennedy? Someone’s going to.
@1
It was decided long before Roe V. Wade. Roe V. Wade just made abortion, at least in theory, equal access.
@2 & 3,
In any event, abortion is a done deal. It’s legal and the right choice for many people.
