Planned Parenthood Rally
April 12th, 2011 by flanewsShe has the most popular uterus in the state. Susannah Lindberg Randolph is the wife of State Representative Scott Randolph.
Last month Randolph told legislative leaders he was going to incorporate his wife’s uterus so they would view it as a small business and stop seeking changes to abortion laws. The remark was snarky but it’s rallied pro-choice voters around the state and today they showed up at the state capitol wearing uterus pins and holding stuffed uteri. Susannah Lindberg Randolph says since her husband’s remarks on the House floor, people have begun organizing against abortion changes.
“People reacted viscerally because they are just sick and tired of what’s going on up her and being told by the government what to do with your own body when corporations are getting away with all sorts of things,” said Lindberg Randolph.
Today’s rally was organized to protest 18 anti-abortion bills and to dub April 12th “Birth Control Matters Day.” Neither the Legislature nor the governor are making moves to name the day nor stop the abortion bills.
