Just got called by the ACLJ re: Choice. They played me a short speech
by some guy about how abortions will go up by at least 150K if they become gov't funded, and then a live operator got back on the line and asked if they could add my name to their petition for not allowing abortions in the Freedom of Choice Act.

I said in a rather stern voice that I don't appreciate other people telling me what I can do with my body and that I am pro-choice and will not be signing their petition. I do wonder, though, how many signatures they actually have collected in favor of their view.

2. Well, they are a Pat Robertson group --
I wouldn't expect anything else from that crowd. Do they use "ACLJ" and not the full name when they call? I could imagine some people who don't know who the ACLJ is could get them confused with the "ACLU".

I am sure they are getting a good number of signators to their petition - there are a heck of a lot of anti-chocie people out there.

3. No, they gave their full name. I do think it would definitely
confuse people to go by letters only. :)
