I Am Emily X



Anti-choice extremists have launched a so-called “40 Days for Life” campaign, with plans to picket more than 80 Planned Parenthood clinics across the country. They started on September 26, and plan to end on November 4.

Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s intrepid blogger Emily X has been on the scene, posting her notes, photos, and videos.

Since the campaign began, friends and supporters have contacted us saying they'd like to pledge money for every protester who shows up. Please pledge whatever you can. You have no idea how far we can make donations go at Planned Parenthood.

Some of you may be concerned about your medical appointments at our health centers. Don't be. Planned Parenthood works around the clock to protect your health, safety, and security. For more than 90 years, Planned Parenthood has been making women and their families feel welcome and well cared for in the face of all kinds of adversity.

We’ve received so many great comments, like this one from Jen: “Your courage makes me proud! Please know that the work you do gives a voice to millions of women around the world. The words ‘thank you’ do not seem big enough.”

Share your comments. Watch the videos, send a letter of support, and pledge a picket.
