Mother's Day & Birthmother's Day tributes serve more mothers

May 9, 2012

In anticipation of Mother's Day, FFL members are invited to post a tribute to your mom on our Facebook page--or to your grandmother, aunt or someone who has been like a mother to you. Or honor your favorite pregnancy care center or counselor. They deserve a tribute, too!

FFL members and donors, don't forget to send the card we provided

nd make your tribute gift or gift membership online today!

Speaking of Facebook, check out the hot topics, feminist history and other updates--and weigh in! Last month the hottest topic was "Did I deserve the death penalty?" featuring Rebecca Keissling and insights from FFL speaker and rape survivor Joyce McCauley Benner. This month FFLers are discussing:

• Pro-Woman Answers to Pro-Choice Question "What if she just doesn't want it?"

• Violence Against Women Act: Senate approved, but need action before House vote!

• Is this the face of the enemy? (Share the ad.)

• On this day in Herstory

• In anticipation of Birthmother's Day (which is this Saturday), FFL speaker Jessica O'Connor-Petts appeared in the featured ad and weighed in personally. Read why "adoption is an empowering option" for women.

• Mother's day tributes (Make yours now!)

As the school year comes to a close, FFL's Board of Directors, the staff and I want to thank you for a super year. It was because of our donors and members that we were able to reach so many students and advocate for other at-risk groups.

But we are only 5 months into our 40th anniversary! Go to our website now and make a donation in honor or memory of someone you love for Birthmother's Day or Mother's day--or send her a gift membership.

Either way, your gift will enable Feminists for Life to have a productive summer, creating the next wave of materials and resources to advance our mission.

Because women--and all children--deserve better,
