*Facebookers* Anti-Choice group is beating Planned Parenthood in a $50,000 contest...

"Make Abortion UNTHINKABLE" is currently in second place in the "America's Giving Challenge" $50,000 challenge. The goal of the competition is to get people to support their causes. The causes that get the most donations win money. The top prize is $50,000 dollars.

Planned Parenthood is currently in 557th place with 3 donations/supporters.

I'm going to give to PP. We need to push them up the list. There is no reason why, 23 days from now, Planned Parenthood shouldn't be beating the anti-choicers.

All you have to do is click on the link, login in and search for "Planned Parenthood" in the search bar.

1. I don't think that means much. I avoid FB...people seem to act 10 times stupider on FB than IRL

I donate directly to PP.

On Edit: How does this work? I went on FB and tried to look at the rules, but it's not very clear.

2. You donate directly to your own cause. The prize is independent.

5. AOW, please say anti-choice
anti-abortion implies the other side is pro-abortion and we are nothing of the sort - we support the right for a woman to decide what is best for her

12. Part of the problem may be that there are many good causes there for reasonable people to
choose from.

Whereas, all the right-wing control freaks are going to skip over anything that actually involves helping people, and glom onto the anti-choice thing.
