As we mentioned yesterday, Maddow, Buzzfeed, TPM, and Mashable have all reported about your online activism.
At this point, we have provided contact information for the following Governors:
- Utah’s Gary Herbert, who is poised to sign into law a 72-hr waiting period mandate between when a patient wanting an abortion first meets with a doctor and when the procedure is performed - LET HIM KNOW THAT HE SHOULD VETO #HB461
- Kansas’ Sam Brownback, who is one of the most anti-choice governors and who may soon receive a mega abortion restriction bill to sign into law
- Texas’ Rick Perry, who signed into law a ultrasound bill that mandates forced transvaginal ultrasounds and who last week defunded the Medicaid-funded Women’s Health Program in an effort to destroy Planned Parenthood in his state
- Pennsylvania’s Tom “Just Close Your Eyes When You Are Forced to Endure an Unwanted Ultrasound” Corbett
But don’t let our list limit you. Find anti-choice politicians (both Democrat and Republican) in your state, in Congress, or even running for president, and contact them.
Inundate them with sarcastic comments regarding the anti-choice legislation they support. Show them how little they actually know about women, their bodies, and reproductive health care.
Be a part of this mass movement! Join Project TMI!
SIGNAL BOOST!
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST! LET’S GET LOUD!
Yesterday, thanks to your efforts, over 1000 comments were posted on Kansas Governor Sam Brownback’s Facebook page. CAN WE BEAT THAT NUMBER TODAY?
In case you don’t know WHY we are targeting Brownback and Kansas, Kari Ann Rinker’s piece at RH Reality Check has the details. The bill includes
- cutting off medical training for doctors (which may cause the KU Medical School to lose accreditation)
- outlawing Planned Parenthood employees from volunteering at schools
- allows physicians to lie to their patients about pregnancy complications
- forces doctors to lie to patients about anti-scientific and untrue risks with abortion
- and creates a new state income tax on any expense related to abortion.

Kansas is not the only state with a governor who is backing anti-choice legislation.
Utah’s governor, Gary Herbert, currently has ON HIS DESK RIGHT NOW the legislation that will change Utah’s 24hr mandatory waiting period between appointment and abortion to 72 hours.
We need him to VETO it.
Let’s give him the attention and treatment we gave Brownback yesterday.

Mandatory waiting period laws serve no other purpose than to shame people wanting an abortion.

Most governors have national aspirations.
Let’s be as loud as possible so that both Herbert and Brownback know the ENTIRE COUNTRY is watching.
