I am having difficulty processing the devastating impact 6 robed people can have on the majority of citizens. And I'm struggling to hold together my own painful emotions around rape and the impact of unwanted pregnancies. I hope to write more about that in the future.
In the meantime I am reposting some important information on how to help women, if you are able.

ReplyDeleteAs a post-menopausal lesbian I will never need their services, but I will never stop fighting and funding the right of any woman to access a safe and legal medical procedure.

ReplyDeleteI think we all realize that we're devolving as a Nation and so much progress is quickly being undone by fanatics and Cultish devotion by a Minority that seek to oppress the Majority and force their Lunatic Fringe Ideology upon us all. They are coming for Women now, it's fairly predictable what other groups they want to make "Less Than" next.
ReplyDeleteI am just sick about this. Not surprised, but horrified.
