Ask Them What They Mean By “Choice” Day 2013
UPDATE 1/24, 10:30a: Thanks to all who participated, whether by the many great posts I read on your blogs (links below), or on Facebook, or on Twitter (where the conversation at #Tweet4Choice is still going strong!).
I think our effort this year was particularly impactful given the dust up in the pro-abortion community over the word “choice.”
Thanks again for doing such a great job pushing back on their euphemismistic cover-up of preborn murder.
1/21, 3:10p: In response to NARAL’s Blog for Choice Day, we are sponsoring our third annual Ask Them What They Mean When They Say “Choice” Day – tomorrow.
All online pro-lifers are invited to join in!
Read backstory here.
This year we are expanding beyond bloggers to the online pro-life community at large – you!
Click to join the event on Facebook here.
By doing so you will become part of a pro-life contingent that will challenge abortion supporters tomorrow, January 22, whenever and wherever we see them use the word “choice” online.
If on Twitter, use the hashtag #Tweet4Choice for all tweets tomorrow, which NARAL has designated for its Blog for Choice Day, the impetus for our day.
Thanks to Planned Parenthood we have added fodder for discussion tomorrow. Almost two weeks ago PP announced it was abandoning the term, “pro-choice.” You might want to ask “choice” advocates about that.
Thanks to bloggers who have signed up to blog on what “choice” really means tomorrow. So far they include:
Americans for the Life of the Nation
Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform
Tradition Family Property Student Action
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
I’m participating – A Star of Hope
Thanks, JoAnna, adding.
Our group is participating too:
Tradition Family Property, Student Action

Thanks, John, adding you, too!
I want to join this.
Aura, do you have a blog? If not, go to the Facebook page and click you’re attending and just plan on rebutting people advocating “choice” wherever you see them online tomorrow:

40 years after Roe v Wade an aging feminist laments there aren’t enough abortions…
Today is the 3rd annual “Ask Them What They Mean When They Say ‘Choice’ Day.” Each year pro-life heroine Jill Stanek organizes this rebuttal to NARAL’s “Blog For Choice Day” ……
It is awful how they use the word choose to justify abortion. Would you add me as well to the list of blogs? aconstitutionalconservative.blogspot.com
Thanks,
I’m participating: Here’s my post at Journal of a Nobody: http://journalofnobody.blogspot.com/2013/01/3rd-annual-ask-them-what-they-mean-by.html

I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!
Sorry. Just got through with the update (because I went over-limit for tweets today :3 )
East Is All That’s Left
is here.
I posted a Pro-Life post today, using your picture!!

What a day! I was able to tweet a little, haven’t been able to blog at all, did manage to get meals for my dad (who has dementia), get new tires for the car (our only car now that his was wrecked), and had a three hour conversation with someone at the dealership who was partially onboard for pro-life views but not all the way. We exchanged contact info. I do believe some seeds were planted. And not just with that person, but with all the others who overheard us. And they were many. I also wore one of my many pro-life t-shirts today, a 40 Days for Life one that says, “Pray to End Abortion” and gives the 40DFL website address. So I participated as I was able to. Trying to write a blog post now. God bless everyone who was able to do more and those who weren’t able to, too. We do what we can and God will do the rest. :)
Hi, I launched a blog for the pro-life poems I am writing and it just happens that a few days ago I finished one called The choice. I had no idea about all these posts happening today but my poem speaks exactly about what that choice means. Not my best, but I have more on the way.
I’m posting the link here in case you are interested and if someone is writing similar stuff please let me know, I find very few poems on the web and it’s too bad:

Following up on yesterday’s post. Today’s post reveals that abortion has been LEGALLY defined to end human life!

Sorry to be late with this, but stayed up last night writing a blog post about my adopted son’s birth mother, and what her choice has meant to my family…hope everyone will check it out at http:// theholyfaceofjesus.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/this-world-needs-a-heart-of-gold/
I blogged on Tuesday (at http://fallingbyfaith.blogspot.com/2013/01/many-women-will-still-choose-choose.html) in response to Kate Manning’s piece in Monday’s New York Times in which she “described at length a variety of gruesome ways in which women would ‘end a pregnancy’ before the legalization of abortion” and claimed that the reason women put their own lives at risk in these ways is “to control their own bodies”–another lie. Thank you so much, Jill, for your inspiration and leadership!
