- The Pinellas chapter of NOW has a new strategy to stop pro-life legislation:
The Pinellas National Organization for Women opened their monthly meeting with a firm stance on abortion.
“If they ban abortion, we’re going on strike. No sex,” said Peggy Goodale, of Pinellas Park.
- Freya-Grace Barrett was born at 23 weeks and weighed only 13 ounces. Now, 8 months later she’s going home with her family. Her twin Mollie, died shortly after birth:
In the months after Mollie’s tragic death, Freya-Grace endured 9 blood transfusions, a plasma transfusion, and a heart valve operation at Singleton Hospital, in Swansea.
- She still needs a constant oxygen supply to help strengthen her lungs, but doctors are hopeful she will go on to lead a normal life….
- In Australia, a woman lost her child after her water broke and she waited 5 hours in an emergency room for a room to become available.
Controversy has been raging after it emerged many hospitals leave babies born before 24 weeks to die because they only have a 2% chance of survival.
Just last week, Tracy Godwin, 31, of Southend, Essex, told how doctors would not resuscitate her son born at 22 weeks. Mrs Barrett, who became pregnant after IVF treatment, said: “I’m infuriated. Just look into Freya-Grace’s eyes then ask whether treating 23-week babies is a waste of money.”

“If they ban abortion, we’re going on strike. No sex,” said Peggy Goodale, of Pinellas Park.
Perfect!!! How priceless.
“If they ban abortion, we’re going on strike. No sex,” said Peggy Goodale, of Pinellas Park.
Not to seem too indelicate here, however, I can’t help wondering…
What kind of man would get aroused by a woman who feels so strongly about butchering babies? Real men won’t be missing out on sex. The only victims will be the slavish little boot-licking boys.
Seems like justice all around.
LOL No Sex. No abortion. Go for it ladies!!!
Is there something in the water down in Pinellas?
Is it a gathering place for the certifiable?
Question for the severely unfortunate
menboys – would your abortion-crazed sex partner going on strike make you more pro-life, more pro-choice or would you even care?Hey – isn’t PCG from down there?
Regarding the tragic baby death in Australia- the hospital involved (OPH) does not have an emergency department. It is a smaller hospital which specialises in maternity care and particular areas of adult care.
The woman was at OPH’s maternity clinic for a regular check-up at 37 weeks gestation when her waters broke. She was taken to the maternity ward to wait for a birthing suite to become available. There would have been nurses and midwives all around, and she would have had access to an emergency call button at all times.
If the mother needed emergency care that OPH could not offer (because there were not enough beds available, or a critical complication occurred) OPH would have sent her by ambulance to the state’s specialist maternity hospital, which is only about 15 mins away.
Something about this story does not add up.
My heart breaks for this couple, but the assumptions of a lot of media reports are that it’s OPH’s fault, and that the baby’s death could have been prevented, even though cause of death has not been determined yet.
Sadly, sometimes tragedy strikes, even with the best medical care. Please don’t assume this is due to negligence, or worse, discrimination, until all the facts of the situation have been investigated.
I find it amazing how quickly bad news hits the headlines, and how quickly the details of the story have been distorted.
A Lysistrata Gambit over abortion? Well, that’s original, I’ll give them that. Not terribly effective, though, one would think.
“If they ban abortion, we’re going on strike. No sex,” said Peggy Goodale, of Pinellas Park.
Hilarious. Is that “no sex” with the their legislators?
Yes! DO IT PEGGY! You go girl! YES! ALL pro-aborts should do it too! Sisterhood! Solidarity! DO IT!!!!!!! :))
Isn’t it the pro-aborts though always whining that they can’t possibly be expected to practice self-control? They just HAVE to have frequent casual sex and that’s why abortion is soooooo necessary? To clean up the mess of “sexual freedom” and promiscuity??? Without it women will drop like flies and wander zombie-like into back allies to be butchered by who ever brandishes a coat hanger??? Unless they are chained to a stove in reach of the dishes in the sink first…. barefoot…. and forever pregnant…. Right? Sex must equal abortion, or sex equals slavery? So if you just don’t HAVE sex……. EUREKA!!!! FREEDOM! Freedom from “expensive” carcinogenic contraceptives, unintended pregnancy, life-ending surgical procedures, STD’s…… Why didn’t they think of this sooner???
Oh wait…. cause God thought of it first, and He’s sooooo yesterday! Fer sure! /snark But now it’s YOUR turn ladies! Show ’em who’s in control of your bodies! FINALLY! :))
I don’t understand. No sex with (or not with) whom?
As you can see, Pinellas Park is in the Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete’s area. I’m not sure if there’s anything in the water, but it’s a somewhat conservative area.
Peggy Goodale’s statement suggests a decrease in abortion opportunity could result in a decrease in casual sex. Ergo, an increase in abortion opportunity could result in an increase in casual sex, but that natural conclusion has vehemently been denied by many pro-choice groups for years.
I know NOW claims to be for women (and the heck with girls), but their concerns are only for half of the women. Anyone notice their latest half-hearted, belated defense of Sarah Palin after Bill Maher’s latest outrage?
Even NOW’s supporters, commenting on their website, were appalled:

I’m with Hippie!
These chics might find they enjoy finally having some control over their bodily functions! :)
Still laughing!!
If you go on strike from a job…wouldn’t that imply that their job was…umm…
“Sex must equal abortion, or sex equals slavery?”
Well, sex is slavery if you are married, religious, stay at home mom who doesn’t get her way 100% of the time. However, sex is freedom if you get your pills at PP and have multiple partners and your boyfriend threatens you with violence to get you to abort your baby.
