NineteenPercent: The erosion of Roe and why you should give a shit

Our awesome vlogging maven NineteenPercent has a few words for you about why everyone should care about efforts to overturn Roe v Wade and limit access to abortion.

Thanks to Amber, for reminding us that a Supreme Court ruling doesn’t mean the fight for reproductive freedom is over. “It’s not over,” as she so rightly says, “until the fat lady is guaranteed the right to do whatever she wants with her own body.”

    I dig Amber’s approach. I liked this video in it’s summary a lot. I did however have a problem with feminists fighting the pro-choice fight being characterized, even in retrospect, as “femininazi’s”. This word grates me. I have a connection to Germany and many people who are upset by the casual use of nazi-whatever. As a feminist, I have to fight this word way more often than I’d like. What’s the purpose of using it?
