Judy Blume targetted by extremists.

Judy Blume wrote a letter in support of Planned Parenthood as part of their fund-raising campaign. And now she's being sent hate-mail and getting abusive phone-calls. I'm not going to link the kind of stuff that's being said about her - you all know how to google. And if you've ever seen the kind of comments pro-choice bloggers get, you can probably guess fairly accurately what they're like.

If her books formed part of your sex education, or helped you understand yourself better, or were a comfort in bad times, now is the time to let her know and thank her. We can't stop the abuse, but we can try to drown it out with positive messages.

For those is the US, Planned Parenthood has a letter to send.

And for every-one else, her contact page is here.
