It's a NARAL event.
On January 22, 2013 – the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade– we invite pro-choice bloggers and activists to join us for the eighth annual Blog for Choice Day!
Blog for Choice Day gets more people reading and talking about reproductive rights online on one of the most important days surrounding a woman’s right to choose: the anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade decision, when the Supreme Court ruled that abortion should be legal. Your participation in Blog for Choice Day lets your readers and the mainstream media know that a woman's right to choose is a core progressive value that must be protected.
As you know, reproductive rights were a critical issue in the presidential election. Thanks to you, we helped re-elect pro-choice President Barack Obama and defeated some of the most extreme and outspoken anti-choice candidates. But our opponents aren’t backing down, and we need to be ready for any attempt to take away women’s access to safe, legal abortion and birth control.
It’s our personal stories that change hearts and minds about the importance of always protecting a woman’s right to choose. That’s why this year we’re asking you to share your story about why you’re pro-choice.

Those will "change hearts and minds about the importance of always protecting a woman’s right to choose"?
Good grief.
The fact is protecting "choice" means protecting the slaughter of the unborn. "Choosing" abortion is "choosing" to kill.
I don't say that as an "extreme and outspoken anti-choice" person. I say it because it's REALITY.
Let's be honest about the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
This really is about celebrating the killing of human life. Tens of millions of unique human beings have been slaughtered under the guise of CHOICE.
To counter this perverse celebration, people who respect life and value the unborn are responding to "Blog for Choice Day" with "Ask Them What They Mean When They Say 'Choice' Blog Day."

Every year NARAL uses the anniversary of the day abortion was legalized throughout the United States to promote "choice."The use of the word "choice" by the pro-abortion movement is so insidious. It's cowardly.
And for the last two years pro-lifers have not let them get away with obfuscating what that "choice" actually is.
We devote the day online to calling abortion proponents out - writing our own blog posts on the real meaning of "choice," commenting on their blog posts, and questioning all their Facebook and Twitter blather.
We will also make good use of their designated Twitter hashtag, #Tweet4Choice.
If they're so proud to support the killing of the unborn, why are they afraid to be clear about what it is they're "choosing"? Why hide the reality of abortion by softening the language?
"Choice" means killing a unique, one and only, human life.
If one is pro-choice, one is pro-abortion. "Choice" equals death, the mother's "choice" to intentionally kill her unborn child.
That's what it means.
Let's not play word games.
Let's be honest.
NARAL is promoting "Blog for Killing the Unborn Day."
FACT: "Choice" means choosing death for one's child.
The anniversary of Roe v. Wade is the darkest of days. It stands as a reminder of over 55 MILLION birthdays never celebrated.
