ANTISCHISM Where We Stand

These ANTISCHISM lyrics embody the spirit of this special edition show:
"once again they stick their "morals" where they don't belong. once again we must rise up a fight their sexist cause. using their twisted faith as the basis for their woman-hate they call themselves pro life. ha. it's time we set the record straight. their name is sick mockery of the women who would die. thousands every year to the hanger or the knife. they call abortion murder but what is their alternative? the same fucking murder they claim to condem. so let's bring out the truth behind their hypocracy and what lies beneath the surface of their so called morality is the religion they keep trying to force down our throats with all its sexist values and all its gender roles. it makes them sick to see a woman in control of her ownlife. in control of her own body and her reproductive rights. but that is freedom something they would not understand. so we must raise our voice all those pro-choice and show them were we stand."

Some lyrics from Abort The System:
"The woman has a body that she must call her own but they treat her like a flowerpot for a seed he has sown. the woman makes a baby and feeds him til he's grown and thos who feed on fresh young blood will break his spirit down... she will not feed the factory that mathe cage and gun she will take her spirit back with a mind that is her own. she will not make a baby and feed ti with her own life. a woman's body is her own- abortion is her right!"

MINE: AN ANTHOLOGY OF WOMEN'S CHOICES #1 (available through Riveter Distro) and
BORN IN FLAMES #1

Excerpt from an article entitled THE CONNECTION:
"Anti choice protesters are similar to rapists who aim to gain power and control over women via our reproductive parts. in the eyes of the religious right our cunts and wombs are not seen as parts of an autonomous women's body, belonging to her alone. right-wing fascistss strive to bring our reproductive organs, our sexuality under their control. the mindset of the anti-choice movement in general is akin to that of the power hungry rapist who seeks to exert his will over our lives. rapists and anti-choicers are both more likely to uphold rigid sex role standards, devalue womena nd subscribe to the belief that wmen do not hav the right to control their sexuality and reproduction. both oppressors use similar tactics including gendered violence, lies, physical intimidation, manipulation, deception, verbal abuse and harassment, and even stalking. and they both wreak multifold damage on women's lives. they cause unneeded emotional and or physical trauma, they disempower and humiliate women, deny women's autonomy and complete humanity, endanger women's well-being and our very lives. similarly, they both produce the same outcome: they force women to give up control of our sexual/reproductive selves. ...
While anti-choice violence is similar to sexual harassment/assault in many ways, and can sometimes be combated with similar techniques, there are several important distinctions between sexual assaliants and hte misogynist religious right taht deserve recognition. the majority of sexual assault against women is perpetrated by someone whom the woman knows, and that perpetrator is more likely to be from the same racial and socioeconomic background as his or her victim. with anti-choice fascists this is not the case. while the protesters i've encountered were ovewerwhelminglywhite, middle class, balding men (and the occasional post-menopausal white woman) the clients going into the clinic aer highly diverse in every way. outside the clinic it is disgustingly common to see white men verbally abusing young women of color. in this way the pretext of "pro-life" becomes a mask for a gendered and racialized assault that would otherwise be considered hightly inappropriate.

IT IS TIME THAT PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ASSAULT FOR WHAT IT IS-- A RELIGIOUSLY SANCTIONED HATE CRIME-- AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY: INTERVENING WHEN WE CAN AND GIVING AN OUTRAGED DEMAND FOR IT TO BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY."
