PP Middle and East TN is advertising a fund raiser for drinks in the back room of a local bar entitling it
"Speakeasy for Planned Parenthood
"
For $35 you get one drink and the opportunity to "cry in your beer" about how bad it is for the women of Nashville to go to the Metro Health Dept. for cancer screenings. National PP advices focusing on re branding themselves and not talk about the "A" word cause that makes people uneasy and uneasy people tend to close their wallets. So how does a speakeasy image fit that challenge?? Well perhaps they are saying they are not the pretty girl but the back room girl . Does that fit the re branding charge given by headquarters??

PP fundraiser ad
"After the aggressive legislative session that had the Tennessee state legislators "go home with the pretty girl," (meaning they defunded Planned Parenthood in TN by blocking Federal Title X Family Planning funding), you'd think it's an all out Prohibition-style criminalization of reproductive rights and access to critical care like cancer screenings, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatement(sic) and birth control!"
So, we invite you to join us Saturday, July 30th, at Holland House Bar & Refuge - a bar reminscent (sic) of the Prohibition Speakeasies of the jazz age - celebrate what we do have: our commitment to serving the women, men and teens who need us and the best supporters and volunteers who are committed to keeping our doors open. |
