The activities will run from July 31 to August 6, Dr. Carhart explains, with a March for Choice on July 31, 2011 at 1 pm. The march will help raise funds for the Abortion Access Fund, Inc., which provides assistance to disadvantaged women.
Dr. Carhart provides abortions in some of the most difficult circumstances and has twice been the plaintiff on reproductive rights cases that were heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. In the 2.24 minute video, he says:
Hello. I’m Dr Carhart and I want to invite all of your to join us for a summer celebration of choice. This will take place in Germantown Maryland from the 31st of July until the 6th of August. We hope to have a peaceful presence as large as you can imagine. We want everyone to come. We need to show our representatives in Congress that the pro-choice message is the message of the American people; that the majority of Americans are pro-choice. And that prochoice Americans vote. ...I especially want to invite everyone to attend our kickoff walk. This will be on Sunday, July 31 starting at 1 pm.
Dr. Carhart introduces a new website, www.SummerOfChoice.com, which also has the video. Information on the walk will be posted there, he says, and "also we will be posting many other events during this week."
UPDATE: Words of Choice will perform to support Summer of Choice activities on July 31 at 5 pm in Gaithersburg, MD. See www.wordsofchoice.org for details, directions and tickets.
Dr. Carhart also lends his support to the grassroots pro-choice organizers at Summer of Trust, which is organizing activists to support Dr. Carhart's efforts.
