Judy Blume, wonderful children's author of such books as Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret, wrote an email appeal for Planned Parenthood and has been getting slammed with hate mail ever since. I have an incredible amount of respect for Ms. Blume for the quality of her books and the truths in the perspectives she offers the young women who read them. I am also a strong advocate of Planned Parenthood.
The California NOW (National Organization for Women) website has a few links where you can send a note of support to Ms. Blume (though, please note, the link through the Planned Parenthood website is no longer active). Click here if you'd like to express your support to a fellow writer who was standing up for something she believed in and took a bunch of heat for it.
