Rage Against The Machine Donate $475,000 Raised Via Charity Tickets To Reproductive Rights Organizations​


When rap metal political firebrands Rage Against The Machine first announced their reunion tour back in 2020, the outfit drew criticism
for select tickets at each show being made available for well over face value. As the band would go on to explain, those inflated ticket prices
were part of a ‘charity ticket’ program, with the pricing applied to randomly selected seating at each venue. 10% of tickets at each show were implemented into that program.

The multi-platinum group managed to raise over $3,000,000 via that program in the first 2 days of tickets for the trek having gone on sale
and pledged to donate 100% of the proceeds from ‘charity tickets’ to charities of their choosing.

In a statement shared yesterday by the group, they have revealed that they have pledged $475,000 from that fund towards reproductive
rights in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court recently overturning Roe v. Wade. A statement from the group read as follows:

“We are disgusted by the repeal of Roe V. Wade and the devastating impact it will have on tens of millions of people. Over half of the
country (26 states) is likely to ban or seriously restrict abortion very soon, if not immediately, which will have a disproportionate impact on poor,
working class and undocumented BIPOC communities.
To date, our fans have raised $475,000.00 from the sale of our charity tickets at Alpine Valley and the United Center. We are donating that money to
reproductive rights organizations in Wisconsin and Illinois.
Like the many women who have organized sophisticated railroads of resistance to challenge these attacks on our collective reproductive freedom,
we must continue to resist.”

I try not to follow what's going on in the US for my mental health, by which I mean it really fucks with your head if you have a relative suffering dementia like the US. You can't ignore everything though and I subscribe to Jessica Valenti. Here's her latest piece quoted

"On Monday, Yesli Vega—a Republican nominee for Congress in Virginia—suggested that pregnancy after rape is rare, and that a woman who is assaulted might not get pregnant because “there’s so much going on in the body.”

“It’s not something that’s happening organically,” Vega continued. “You’re forcing it.”

I can’t believe I have to say this in the year 2022, but of course that is not true: Pregnancy can occur after rape in the same way it can happen after consensual sex. But for years, Republicans have believed the wackiest, weirdest, most ignorant shit about abortion.

For example, Vega is hardly alone in thinking that women don’t really get pregnant after rape. In 2012, Missouri Senate nominee Rep. Todd Akin said in a television interview that in a “legitimate rape” (whatever the fuck that is), “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” In 1995, Republican Rep. Henry Aldridge from North Carolina argued that women who are raped can’t get pregnant because “the juices don’t flow, the body functions don’t work.” (I know, ew.) And in 2013, Texas Rep. Jodie Laubenberg defended an abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest by claiming, “In the emergency room they have what’s called rape kids where a woman can get cleaned out.” CLEANED. OUT.

Oh, I’m not done yet.

Tom Smith of Pennsylvania said that pregnancy after rape is basically the same thing as having a baby out of wedlock; Ohio state Rep. Jean Schmidt said that a 13 year-old who is raped and becomes pregnant has been given “an opportunity”; and Paul Ryan called rape a “method of conception.”

Earlier this year, Michigan governor candidate Garrett Soldano argued if a woman is raped she shouldn’t be allowed an abortion just in case the fetus could be “the next president.” (It never occurs to these men that perhaps the pregnant woman, if given the opportunity to plan if and when to have children, might be the person who changes the world.) In 2019, Missouri state Rep. Barry Hovis defended an abortion ban by arguing that most sexual assaults are “consensual rapes.” (?!!) And in a 2008 presidential debate, Sen. John McCain responded to a question about abortion exceptions for the health and life of a woman by putting “health” in scare quotes.

What might be the most infuriating thing about the men who legislate away our health, lives and freedom, though, is that they do so without having even the most basic understanding of the way women’s bodies or pregnancy work.

Texas Republican Rep. Michael Burgess insisted that a law banning abortion was necessary because if you watch a sonogram, “they have movements that are purposeful.” He continued, “if they’re a male baby, they have their hand between their legs...they feel pleasure.” That’s right: Women should be legally banned from ending a pregnancy so their male fetus can masturbate.

Idaho Republican Vito Barbieri thought you could give women a remote gynecological exam by having her swallow a tiny camera; Republican Texas state Rep. Dan Flynn, who sponsored the state’s anti-abortion law, believed you had to cut into a woman to perform an abortion; and Ohio Republican John Becker claimed that his state’s anti-choice law wouldn’t hurt women with ectopic pregnancies because they can just move the fertilized egg. “That treatment would be removing the embryo from the fallopian tube and reinserting it in the uterus,” he said, explaining a medical procedure that doesn’t fucking exist. "

My favorite, however, might have to be Alabama Republican Clyde Chambliss, who when asked if the anti-choice legislation he was supporting would allow incest victims to have abortions, responded: “Yes, until she knows she’s pregnant.”
 
these make my head and heart hurt, sticky :(

how many of these men are covering for rape by themselves (or their brother/son/cousin/friend) by saying 'most is consensual'?

i don't know whether to be saddened and appalled more by the ignorance (which IS astounding) or the willful dissemination of false information to the gullible.

Because equal rights.

Good question, when do men get the legal right to consent/opt out of paternal responsibility??

Women get all the power/control, at the very least men should be allowed consent.

Because equal rights. Why do you keep bringing up irrelevant things??
 
Yeah cuz men's rights to fuck is totally the same as women not being compelled into organ donation.

It fries me that some men fight against abortion because they don't get to choose to not be a parent. And more ironically the best advice to them is the bullshit they've been pushing onto women for centuries/millennia - keep your zipper zipped. And if parenthood is so abhorrent then get a vasectomy. Men are given those freely, covered by insurance and no questions asked. Unlike women for tubal ligations/hysterectomies.

Equality generally does upset feminist.

Nobody hates equality as much as feminist do except maybe the racial identitarian slime.
