Hi john,

January may have taken approximately 875 days to end, but February is quickly taking us all over the place and there is no danger of slowing down! AAF’s founder and Chief Creative Officer, Lizz, could be seen in the Twin Cities preaching the gospel of abortion at the Michael Shannon, Jason Narducy, and Jon Wurster cover tour of R.E.M.’s Murmur! Did you know that a portion of the proceeds from poster sales goes right to AAF?! Catch the rest of the tour and get a poster to support! BONUS: Catch us preaching on stage with them in DC, Philly, and Brooklyn!

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL ‘GETTING YOUR COMEUPPANCE’ 
Last week, six Operation Save America anti-abortion zealots were (finally) found guilty for conspiracy for violating the federal FACE Act by blocking access to a clinic in Mt. Juliet, TN. Oh, and did we mention that they purposely used their minor children to help obstruct access, because that’s a completely normal and rational thing people do?? BEST PART- AAF, along with Endora Tech recorded the blockade as it happened and our evidence gathering and documentation helped contribute to these convictions! We’re funny AND sleuth...y! 

NEW HAMPSHIRE: STRAIGHT UP WINNING AT ANTI-ABORTION WHACK-A-MOLE
New Hampshire reps voted on three bills last Thursday, and were able to smack down two anti-abortion proposals that would have required abortions performed after 15-weeks in a hospital (which would obviously exclude Planned Parenthood and independent clinics) and a bill that would have banned abortions after 15 DAYS… not weeks! While they also failed to advance to the Senate a proposal to add abortion rights into the state constitution, they had TEN WHOLE Republicans join in support of the proposal- if that doesn’t smell like future WINNING, we don’t know what does.
