Clinic invader Christopher “Fidelis” Moscinski says bodily autonomy for me, forced birth for thee 🤡 WHAT DO WE DO NEXT? We're starting at the source: the militant, emboldened, unopposed, highly organized and mobilized right, backed by the church and cops. The guy who leads the Archdiocese's weekly clinic harassment in NYC, Christopher "Fidelis" Moscinski, just invaded another clinic, this time in Westchester (!!!). He’s been doing this since the 90s. (Not the point rn but the fingerpointing about who voted for who in 2016 is absurd. This train left the station in like 1992 or even earlier….) COUNTERPROTEST WITH NYC FOR ABORTION RIGHTS HOW DO WE WAGE A NEW FIGHT FOR ABORTION? 🥀❌ On Saturday, Fr. Fidelis Moscinski led another “Red Rose Rescue” invasion at the All Women’s Health clinic in White Plains, NY. By the group’s own admission, the invaders were inside the clinic harassing patients and — lol — chitchatting with the cops for OVER TWO HOURS before finally being arrested. Reminder that this is the same guy who leads rotating “Witness for Life” protests at abortion clinics across NYC. You don’t get to be a career anti-abortion militant without some powerful institutional backing. Our contempt for the Archdiocese of New York is unfathomable. Stay tuned for info about our next action 📣 🎆 @emilyjahnavi captures our thoughts on “pro-life feminism” in a recent piece for @rampantmagazine (see link in bio, etc). Forced birth is forced birth, even if it’s wrapped up in the language of social justice. And it still benefits the ruling class, which demands a steady supply of cheap labor: not just waged work, but the unpaid, still highly gendered care work that makes the whole system turn. There’s also nothing remotely feminist about clinic protests, which, as we’ve seen in NYC, often entail forging strategic alliances with the police. “Pro-life” but also pro-harassment under the protection of an institution that continues to brutalize communities of color, which was designed to defend the interests of capital? 🤡 COUNTERPROTEST WITH NYC FOR ABORTION RIGHTS ig censored this when we shared on stories a few weeks ago so here it is on main / that’s us two years ago at the basilica of st pat’s old cathedral in soho, flagship location of catholic abortion clinic harassment in nyc Earlier this month St Paul and St Agnes stopped hosting clinic harassment because “they got tired of all of the attention” (ie our counterprotests and community outreach 😇). St Pat’s in Soho is going to get tired of the attention too 😇😇
