Planned Parenthood: For Mother's Day, Call Congress | Time.com


Quote:
Every mom I know would skip the breakfast in bed, the Hallmark card or the flowers in exchange for the security of knowing they and their kids are healthy and happy. But this Sunday, mothers across the country will spend Mother’s Day worried about the health of women and families — especially if they’re opening their gifts in front of the morning news...

So this Mother’s Day, instead of taking your mom out to brunch or sending chocolate, commit to fighting for a government that recognizes that women deserve basic human rights and protections — including the right to decide when and whether to become a mom. After all, nothing says “I love you, Mom!” like adding your members of Congress to your contacts, and letting them know you’re counting on them to stand up for women and families everywhere.

I wish she realized she doesn't have the right to speak for all mothers, let alone all women. I would rather have my brunch or flowers, thanks.

I think this is a great idea! I sent my mom flowers but I'm going to make a donation to Planned Parenthood in her honor as well. She will love that, as it's an organization she already supports.

Thanks for the tip!

why does everyday have to be a "fighting for somebody's right" day? lol yeah, equal rights are good and all, but... gee...

I am going to pay for my mom's next botox treatment. That is something she wants.
