Bowling for freedom and liberty
by digby
Oh, it’s on! And it’s spectacular. This April, abortion fund activists are taking it to the alleys–the bowling alleys–in 30 cities nationwide, for the 4th year in a row, to raise money for their local abortion funds and have a blast doing it!
How it works: get a few friends together to start a team or join a team (like Downton Alley, Midwife Crisis or Jekyll and Repeal Hyde) and go balls out for abortion access!
