question everything

I got a call from "pro life"!!

I could not believe it. Where did they get my name? Usually in the evenings we don't even answer the phone but I did this time, expecting someone from the Democratic party or the DFL.

I did not even let her finish her sentence - not that she even stopped talking - "Don't ever call me again!" I seethed.

And no, it was not a robocall a-la Bridget from card member services. She asked for me, by name!

Still can't get over it.

when she started talking about the "unborn."

I am pro life of women who do not accept anyone's intervention in their bodies without their consent.

They pretty much can guess at that point how the conversation will end
