It's over — 40 days, 1,034 protesters. Phew!
Tuesday November 3 was my last official day blogging and videotaping the anti-choice "40 Days for Life" campaign. I'm so proud to say that the 1,034 protesters I encountered allowed us to raise more than $56,000 for Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the women our health centers serve — but only if pledges are fulfilled! Please click here to fulfill your pledge today.

Thank you again for coming on this journey with me.

About Emily X
- Emily X, a fictional name representing a compilation of Planned Parenthood affiliate staff and activists.
- We have collected the stories of our staff and activists and presented them as the blog entries of Emily X. Some entries are verbatim words written by staff. Other entries were written by us based on stories we heard. Emily X serves as a reminder to the pro-choice community of the harassment and intimidation practiced by opponents of women's health. Emily X was triggered by and focuses on the anti-choice "40 Days for Life" protests, targeting Planned Parenthood affiliate health centers around the country. This year, the protests are taking place September 23 through November 1, 2009.

When it comes to my passion to protect this great country's pro choice laws, I often remember the famous quote that English philosopher Edmund Burke said,: ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (and women) to do nothing.’
So let's keep doing something.
