Causes I endorse/care about.
Feb. 11th, 2005 01:29 am1. Anti-infant-circumcision. This is *routine* circumcision, mind. If there's an actual medical reason behind it, I support it. I also will not comment if people do this for religious reasons, provided that this is actually part of their religion.
2. Breastfeeding. And I'm never having kids, so this one's a bit weird.
3. Linguistic rights. Primarily, the right to not be told "the way you speak is wrong". I understand the various reasons behind a need for a standard dialect, but please. Just say "this way is more appropriate for this situation". Forget that right and wrong nonsense. (Unless somebody is actually wrong. It does happen)
4. Anti-Bush. BUSH SUCKS.
5. Pro-reproductive rights.
6. Pro-equality-of-all-sorts (racial, sexual, sexualorientational, whatever, equal is good)
7. Anti-death-penalty. Especially when it's being called upon by people who claim to be "pro-life". Liars.
8. Pro-helping-people-out. Yeah, if you're so pro-life, you should want to support this life once it's born as well. Abortion rates *rose* during Bush's term.
9. Anti-war. I don't like killing people.
10. Pro-Dudley-Fic. *coughs*
11. Autistic Advocacy. Technically, this goes under number 6, but I thought I'd give it a special mention. *special mention*
Hm.... That may be it. Icky number, 11, but it'll do.

Date: 2005-02-11 09:23 am (UTC)Forgot to address this one: I think I was referring to the more general "women's only prayer circle" type of thing, where the church itself is open to men, but that the prayer circle is really just for the ladies. But my experience with churches is close to nothing, so I am really conjecturing on this one.
