Two of us can be ignored. But together, we are a movement and we are unstoppable.” - Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America & Planned Parenthood Action Fund In a surreal time when our hard-fought reproductive rights are in real peril, it is imperative that all-of-us stand strong and stand together in their defense. To help Planned Parenthood launch its new project, UNSTOPPABLE, our Bay Area filmmaker friend and fellow activist Tiffany Shlain made a powerful short film called “Unstoppable Manifesto.” Hear what Tiffany had to share about her own personal experience and motivation: “I grew up hearing stories from my late father, who, as a young surgeon, would try to save women in the emergency room after they were unable to get a safe abortion and ended up trying to do it themselves. In my early twenties, long before I was ready to have children, or had started my career or even met Ken, I became pregnant. I was in no way ready to become a mother, and was so grateful to be able to get a safe abortion. But even though I had a place to go, I still, like so many women, had to make my way through a line of protestors shouting terrible things at me, making what was already so difficult, worse. </textarea> </code></pre> <p>I am trying to avoid adding a WYSIWYG editor and doing it using just HTML.
