This is a chance to get to know each other a little better on here.
1. How long have you been pro-choice?
Since elementary school, in theory, but I have only started identifying as pro-choice since the beginning of college.
2. Have you ever written to your politicians about reproductive rights?
Not directly, but I frequently blog on the issues and comment on the blogs of others.
3. Have you ever participated in a rally or a march for reproductive rights?
No, though I plan to.
4. Have you ever participated in a petition for reproductive rights?
Nope.
5. What's your political stance?
Progressive.
6. Are there any other issues that you're interested in other than reproductive rights?
LGBTQ equality, feminism, anti-racism, and comprehensive sex-ed programs
7. Have you ever been on another side in the abortion debate other than pro-choice?
When I was in 4th grade, I was in Catholic school. They chose the usual tack for "educating" us about abortion: showing children gruesome photos of late-term abortions and miscarriages. So for a few days there, I was anti-choice (and very confused and disgusted). When I finally came to my mother about it, luckily, she set me straight and told me about the abortion she had had (illegally) as a teen.
8. If you answered yes to the question above, how long were you on that stance?
