Where did this term originate? I understand that disputes on this topic are pretty heated and some name-calling might become involved but does this seem petty to anyone else?

 Are pro-choice folk be called "anti-life" ? Maybe "pro-death"? Maybe I'm looking too deep into terms, but this seems kind of juvenile. Particularly among people who are trying to set an example.

 Of course this is coming from someone who is pro-gun. Maybe I need to start calling myself anti-life, or pro-suicide, or maybe pro-murder.

Anti-choice activists will once again be decending on Capitol Campus to garner media attention (and maybe some horn honks) for their oppressive, sexist cause. Come help plan some fun and innovative ways to confront this invasion of obnoxious (and potentially dangerous) bigotry. Sometimes the only way to keep an irritating spectacle from getting too much attention and spreading nasty ideas is to create a cooler, more attention grabbing spectacle! Your ideas are needed

The anti-choice rally by the way will be held on January 22nd

We gather together on the Monday nights in this small town that we call Olympia, at that sacred place known as The Brotherhood, to hear sounds played on instruments of string and metal. These strange folk talk of many things under the sky, a sky that may contain sun or rain -- or may be partly cloudy depending on whether there is an on-shore flow, but I digress -- and copiously and heartily quaff the suds of that wholesome drink we call beer. Join us for our merriment and you will leave with a tune in your heart and more than a few ideas in your head -- possibly contradictory ideas, but be that as it may -- and you shall not want for friends in this small town we call Olympia.

Check this out!  Somebody needs to build this for for me...what a magical place to live in.

This is pretty cool too!

From the Olympian:

Twice a year, Olympia has a town hall meeting, sort of a mini- conference on key topics. In September, 270 people came to talk about improving downtown, with the focus on homelessness and safety.

This week, it's to find out what programs are most important to Olympia residents. Tuesday's town hall meeting is to set priorities for the city. According to the city of Olympia's Web site:

What: Olympia town hall meeting on "Balancing The Community Checkbook."

When: 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday. On the second Tuesday in January and the fourth Tuesday in September the Olympia City Council sets aside its usual Tuesday evening business meeting to listen to the community.
