The latest movement
It was never about
Fetal Tissue.
No one sells fetal hearts on Craigslist; I checked.
It was also never about
Abortion.
This world has never wanted for unloved children.
It has been about
Control.
The second a woman has power over herself
Autonomy,
Her body, her choices, her rules
There are no checks and balances—
The sky becomes the limit.
Her sexuality becomes empowerment
Rather than a hindrance.
That is a scary situation
For the part of the population
Determined to stand in her way.

Speak...grrrrrl!!
I get sick of the crap some are pulling out of groups..like planned parenthood..
They get a sound bite or two on something that does indeed sound twisted..but in the much bigger and more present picture.....my right.
Where is the line..
All i know is that they make it bloody instead of keeping women AND children safe.
Fucking Santor whatever from the last presidential race..who was soooo opposed voted 21. Percent increase on their funding while in his seat then in the debates and his run came out so die hard "family values"?! Is it a political stance...or a public sway stance..
Great kitten!

It makes me really angry when men specifically speak to women's health issues, especially when, in 2015, our two options for dealing with menstruation is a cotton plug or a panty diaper! When the wrapper on the maxi pad says, "Have a happy period," I want to shove it right in Santorum's frothy hole!!
Seriously, it seems research has a long way to go with women's health issues. It's shameful that technology has come so far and our options are so few.
