A message from Lauren Handy on this morning of her federal sentencing:
It has been close to 9 months since I was abruptly ripped from my community. This has led me to think long and hard on what to say about my sentencing today in federal court. Some drafts were angry and righteous while most were just a tearstained longing for my loved ones back home.
Yes, this time has been challenging but I refuse to be jaded. Why? Because life goes on... even in jail. So I might as well continue to love and cry and scream and dance. That is joy. The feeling of being fully alive without shame. Which is something no court can take from me.
So today... I am at peace with myself and my future. I will go into court with my head held high and heart open.
Choose Courage Over Comfort,
Lauren Handy Director of Activism, PAAU
I, Morgana know how hard this is.
Wow. What an impressive lady. What can we do for her? Is there a defense fund to contribute to? Can we write to her with words of encouragement? Any ideas?
A spirit not unlike that of Peter and Paul.
I’ve posted how to write to all of them. I’ll have to search where it is but if you look under keyword “prolife” and scroll down...way down you’ll find it.
Combined oral contraceptives—Also called “the pill,” combined oral contraceptives contain the hormones estrogen and progestin. It is prescribed by a doctor. A pill is taken at the same time each day. If you are older than 35 years and smoke, have a history of blood clots or breast cancer, your doctor may advise you not to take the pill. Typical use failure rate: 7%.
Progestin only pill—Unlike the combined pill, the progestin-only pill (sometimes called the mini-pill) only has one hormone, progestin, instead of both estrogen and progestin. It is prescribed by a doctor. It is taken at the same time each day. It may be a good option for women who can’t take estrogen. Typical use failure rate: 7%.
Implant—The implant is a single, thin rod that is inserted under the skin of a women’s upper arm. The rod contains a progestin that is released into the body over 3 years. Typical use failure rate: 0.1%.
Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG IUD)—The LNG IUD is a small T-shaped device like the Copper T IUD. It is placed inside the uterus by a doctor. It releases a small amount of progestin each day to keep you from getting pregnant. The LNG IUD stays in your uterus for up to 3 to 8 years, depending on the device. Typical use failure rate: 0.1-0.4%.
