People Don't STEAL "Non-Viable Fetuses." A Child Was Taken And Then That CHILD Was Killed.

Dear Colorado,

What. The. Frick.

America is mourning the death of Aurora Wilkins, and all we can wonder is how much legalized pot you’ve been smoking. I’m going to try to keep this charitable, but that might not be possible. 

Where to begin?

Firstly, I can’t imagine that any pregnant woman residing in your state could possibly feel that her child is safe. Once again you’ve shown us that the reckless killing of an unborn child is, well, no big deal. 

No murder charge for a reckless driver who killed Laura Gorham’s son when she was 34 weeks pregnant. No pressure on a hospital that refused to deliver 28-week old twins when their mother died from cardiac arrest. There was no first-degree murder charge for the drug addict who was driving on the wrong side of the road and killed Shea Lehnen’s daughter Lileigh, who was born alive but died within hours. (“While here the child was alive at the time of defendant’s alleged criminal acts, she had not been born,” the Appeals Court said. “Therefore, she was not a ‘person’ within the meaning of (state murder laws).” Derp, derp, derp, what? Is this some type of sick joke?!)

And now we sit in awe as Dr. Leon Kelly, of the Boulder County Coroner’s Office, tells Michelle Wilkins, who survived an attempted murder, that “the autopsy failed to provide evidence that the child exhibited signs of life outside of the womb.” So Dynel Lane, the psychopath who placed a Craigslist ad and then cut Aurora from her mother’s womb, leaving the mother for dead, really just wasted her time and will spend the rest of her life in prison because she forcibly removed and tried to steal a dead baby? 

Are you freaking nuts?

Why would a woman cut out a baby that wasn't viable? She stole the baby so she could say it was her own. That's your grounds for murder charges right there.  Her intention was to steal a LIVING CHILD. And in the process she killed that child.

How is that not murder? Oh yeah, because ABORTION. If you validate any of these precious children's lives then you'd be admitting that the unborn are actual human beings and that you've legalized the right to kill them.

Three times in recent years, a personhood amendment has been proposed. And three times Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains and Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado have spent MILLIONS of dollars to defeat them.  

And that’s not all. On August 31, 2010, Boulder County District Attorney General Stan Garnett posted on his facebook page, “In recent days I've picked up another important endorsement that I'm honored to have, this one from Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado. They cite my ‘strong support of women's health,’ and express faith in my continued advocacy for their organization. These people do important work, and I very much appreciate having them in my corner.” 

Later, on October 9, 2010, he wrote, “If you missed yesterday's debate between my opponent and me on KOA's Mike Rosen show, you can listen to it at this link, below. I'm really happy with how well our discussion went. On another note, yesterday I also picked up the endorsement of the NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado PAC. I'm honored to have their backing.”

And that is why Colorado doesn’t recognize these murdered children and prosecute those who have taken their lives. It’s because ABORTION, and it is obscene and you ought to be ashamed of yourself, Colorado. 

Any decent person would agree that we all deserve a fair shot at life, no matter the circumstances of our birth. But you’re not decent, Colorado. The abortion industry and pro-choice politics are making a damn fool out of you. 

In a haze of disbelief,

Brice Griffin 

(Mother to four amazing children here on earth, an aborted child who is dearly missed, and a miscarried baby that taught me about grief and humility.)

The Power of Our Body

The moment I became pregnant with my children my body stopped being mine and it became "ours," and to be honest it's still ours even though they're out.  

This is a revelation I had while reading a blog a woman wrote about getting "her" body back after child #4. I've said it myself, "I just want my body back." Women say it both while pregnant and after. However, my body was the first home of my children. I can't erase that. And while we don't think of a residence in terms of our mother's womb, it's certainly true.  

Additionally, when a mother is pregnant, cells pass from baby to mother and stay for decades sometimes. Part of Brian, Kate, Kelly, and Bridget are still a part of me. My body is our body. This gave me a sense of peace because achieving "my (old) body" is impossible but "our (new) body" is full of possibilities.  

There will be no more comparing pictures of how I used to look and feel to how I look and feel now, because that old self is truly gone- physically, mentally, psychologically, spiritually- and something more amazing has taken it's place. This doesn't mean I don't try and be healthy and active. It means I try even harder to be all of those things... because by taking care of me now I'm also taking care of them.

Why True Sex Positivity Is Key

"Feminism" has come to mean we have to accept and glorify anything that anyone wants to do as long as they slap that label on it. 

It's a major issue for me when Beyoncé slithering on a pole is considered a feminist act, and even more so when a man manipulating a woman into allowing abuse is considered a personal choice and empowering. I don't know when it became wrong to say "um, that might not be good for that woman personally or really women in general," but I think that's where feminism has lost its way. 


We no longer have any standards for women based on human dignity. That's why you can have porn stars claiming to be "feminists" when truly most are not sex positive at all but actively encouraging a culture that sees women as meat to get their rocks off to. Then we're up in arms when dudes catcall women on the streets. Seriously???? 


Why is it okay to privately use women but then such a shock when they do it publicly? You want to smash rape culture? Start by smashing porn. Start by calling out a practice that is training men and many women how to use others, in 2D form, because it will not stay contained to their computer screens. There's nothing sex positive about disconnecting sex from human dignity. That's actually anti-sex-positive and leads to nothing more than masturbation where you're using another person rather than your hand. 


I love sex, GOOD SEX, so much that I'm going to call out shit that I think hinders it. To me, that's being truly sex positive.

Why You Should March with NWF in 2015

Gerri Santoro deserved better than abortion...

Marla Cardamone deserved better. Lakisha Wilson deserved better. Tonya Reaves deserved better… the list goes on. 

No woman should ever die from an abortion, because no woman should ever feel she has to have one.

Gather 'round feminists, and let me tell you a little story…

A few years back some local NWF came over to my place and we had our first ever "Sign Drinking Wine Making Party." No that is not a typo. It's a hilarious joke, because that's how much wine we made, er, I mean drank. The poster board was plentiful and the glue sticks were a-flyin' ...then finally around 2am pretty much everyone passed out on my living room floor at which point I did the only thing a slightly tipsy, scissor wielding type-A nut job like myself could- I trashed all the hideous garbage signs my dear friends had crapped out and remade every single one of them into the glorious pieces of protest art they deserved to be.

Basically, I was the sign fairy that night. Minus the tutu and double the glitter.

Why was something so seemingly trivial that important to me? Well, because branding. Our movement is pretty freaking terrible at it. So terrible that every year we actually joke about which completely looney looking demonstrator will make the cover of the Dallas Morning News, and sadly we're almost always right. There are never very many of them, but what they lack in people they make up for in hot glue'd monstrosities which is like media crack. (Side note: Dude holding the baby doll nailed to the cross with the 10 inch long ketchup laden butcher knife sticking out of its chest… stop. please stop. just stop. I truly believe your heart is in the right place, but your body is not… it should never enter a Hobby Lobby. Like, ever.)

See, marches seldom save any babies, but they're still important. They're a way for us to show our community that when it comes to women in crisis and children who might lose their lives, we care. We care about our neighbors, the born and the preborn. We care about human rights for ALL human beings.

They're also a great chance for us to show our cities/towns/gypsy camps how NOT crazy most of us are. It's a chance for us to let people know that this is where the cool kids hang and they should come out of the shadows and be proud of their pro life beliefs as well. It's a chance to show people that we look, act, love, and laugh just like them. Oh, and that we watch The Simpson's too, because we're normal rational peeps with a sense of humor.

So this season amidst all of your Festivus parties, Kwanzaa gatherings, and Christmas shindigs please consider throwing your very own 'Sign Drinking Wine Making Party.' We always march around January 22nd, so you have plenty of time to get-a-Evitin'. It's a great chance to connect with other badass pro-lifers in your community… and maybe ever talk them outta doing that whole baby doll butcher knife piece they've been working on.

Let us know if you need help connecting with others in your area or finding out when your local march is happening. That's what we're here for! …well that, and to sneak into your house and remake your signs in the middle of the night, but only if they're super, super ug-o.
