I'm in favor of "choice" and "reproductive rights."

I will do all I can to support "pro-choice" individuals.

JFP & Hal & Mal's, thanks for supporting our event!!! Everything is going great!!!! I hope something makes it in the Press, that pro-choice activists were peacefully assembled in Smith Park on Saturday-(a huge success), prior to me making closing remarks, and 20 minutes after the arrival of the aniti's, a bomb threat was called in. Reminder: there were children, young people, elderly and family pets enjoying a peaceful rally............
