Pennsylvania Has Had Enough! Video & More

A sweet little video from reproductive rights advocates in Pennsylvania has a simple message to state legislators to stop attacking reproductive freedom. It's all contained in a short YouTube video, We've Had Enough, embedded below.

As explained on an accompanying website sponsored by Pennsylvanians for Choice and Raising Women's Voices, "Join us in telling the PA Legislature to STOP the attacks on women's health in Pennsylvania! Help us fight these dangerous bills and join us in declaring that...WE'VE HAD ENOUGH!" The website also says:
"In the first six months of 2011, Pennsylvania lawmakers spent 30% of their days at the Capitol working to restrict access to safe, legal abortion.

The short 1.39 minute video uses the handy technique of picturing people holding signs that say 'I've Had Enough' or 'We've Had Enough.'

Occasionally someone voices these words, as well. The video starts with a man saying that he thinks his 8-year-old daughter should consider going to college out-of-state because we've had enough of state legislators underminding access to healthcare. "Being a woman is not a pre-existing condition," he says. A woman soon echoes him, "I've had enough of politicians telling me what to do with my body." About 20 people are shown with signs, to the accompanying music of State Shirt. (No info on who created the video, but there should be.)

The site also encourages people to join a Rally in Harrisburg on September 27 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Or, it and an accompanying Twitter feed (#wevehadenough) urge people to take action by sending in their own photo with a 'We've Had Enough' sign. Several from the video are posted on a Facebook page. The website has downloads of signs, or encourages handmade ones. The pictures can be sent to: wevehadenoughcamp@gmail.com.

Another good effort to use multimedia to build a campaign site. We're with you, Pennsylvanians for Choice!
