Pro Choice Halloween courtesy of PPNYC!

Halloween is just around the corner and I couldn't resist posting PPNYC's piece on pro choice Halloween costumes! Check out their blog at http://www.unratedunfiltered.com/! Happy Halloween!!!

Nothing to wear on Halloween? Go as one of these pro-choice costumes!

If you’re anything like me, you still don’t have your Halloween costume down. What with all the atrocious costumes out there, we here at PPNYC asked some of our favorite writers for their pro-choice Halloween costume ideas. Check out the list below, or add your own in your comments. And if you end up going as any of these, send in your picture!

From Megan Carpentier, Editor, News & Politics at Air America Media:

VOTE!

As I am sure some of you are aware, November 3rd is election day this year. Now, historically in an off year election turn out is horrendous. Beyond horrendous: ABYSMAL. I hate to say it, but abysmal turn out means your vote counts that much more. Your piece of the pie is bigger. Your voice is louder and the echo, much greater. This year is no different.

Here in Pittsburgh, we have the opportunity to elect some excellent judicial candidates and, finally, a pro-choice mayor. Now, I'm not going to try and tell you who to vote for. But I am going to point you in the direction of the Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania Advocates website and ask you, kindly, to check it out.

Pittsburgh Foundation's Match Day is TOMORROW!

A message from our Development Department! Tomorrow is a great day to give to Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania!

Here is why:

Make a gift of $50 or more to Planned Parenthood of Western PA through PittsburghGives and The Pittsburgh Foundation will give Planned Parenthood of Western PA $.50 for each dollar you give. Your $100 contribution will become a $150 gift! There are $300,000 in matching funds available -- and more than 300 organizations ready to share in the generosity of Pittsburgh donors.

In order to qualify for the match, you must make your gift online via credit card at www.pittsburghgives.org. Matching dollars will be exhausted quickly, so you must be ready to make your gift at 10 am tomorrow. When you are completing your donation at "checkout," you will be notified whether matching funds are still available for your gift.

Demand for health care services is up 34% in our downtown Pittsburgh office! Our mission is to provide everyone with the services they need to control their fertility and protect their reproductive health. Tomorrow you can help to ensure that access to quality reproductive health care that includes complete gynecological care and cancer screening services is available to those most in need.
