See the Beauty of the Rainbow


I'm downloading mine now (see below). Planned Parenthood, IMHO, is an excellent group that does far more than abortion planning. They provide a myriad of GYN related health care and education to women on a sliding scale basis. In my 20s, I would never have gotten routine PAP smears, full breast exams, and other care had it not been for their low fees. Now I try to support them financially each month, because even though financial times are very tough, so too is the fight being waged against Planned Parenthood and the women of this country.

From John at AmericaBlog:

Planned Parenthood just launched a campaign this afternoon for all Americans to put up rainbow flags in their windows, cars, offices, and everywhere else they like to show opposition to the anti-gay constitutional amendment, and to show solidarity with the LGBT community. It's called "Flags Across America," and I urge everyone to visit the site and download a rainbow flag.

Full disclosure: Planned Parenthood is one of my clients, and I helped them with this campaign, and am proud to have done so. It's high time we "progressives" started helping each other out more and working together as a larger community of common interests, and in this campaign, Planned Parenthood is doing just that. (You can also contact Congress via their site as well).

Please visit the main "Flags Across America" home page, and make sure you download a flag and tell your friends about this campaign!
