4. I can barely think of this issue without my blood pressure skyrocketing.

I hope young women & the men in their lives, are paying attention.

5. agreed.

6. It is not logical.

How can anyone argue that a clump of cells has more rights than the living breathing woman the cells belong to? I try not to hate people, but I really hate people who work to make this decision for women. I wish the fucking rapture would happen & remove the religious scourge from the planet.

8. I made the mistake of friending a bunch of old classmate from high school, after my 40th reunion

about six weeks ago. What a mistake! There's a reason I left that little town with 11 churches in it! Most of them are still religious & some have gone downright fundy. I've un-friended a few already. Don't need that shit in my life.
