Just in case you're not angry enough, I recommend you watch "The Janes"

This is what we're heading back to.

1. Vera was the best

Imelda Staunton, amazing. That movie should have gotten more attention.

4. That was a good movie

though there were some, including Jennifer Worth (author of "Call Midwife&quot who felt it soft pedaled how awful abortions were in the 1950s.

If you're not familiar with "The Janes" it is a documentary, with interviews with the women who were involved.


BTW - anyone who's reading this & is interest in "Vera", the full name of the movie is "Vera Drake"

5. Thanks for the correction. Vera Drake.

I think it should be required watching. And to think we are heading back to that…

2. Another one...

I just started watching "Keep Sweet, Pray and Obey". Egads! If you've ever wonder how we end up with cults in this country, watch this show on Netflix. These people are sickos in the name of their religion.

3. I just finished that last night.

How do people buy into that crap?

6. I know!

I kept wanting to reach through the TV screen and shake some of those women and say, "wake up"!

8. I think most girls born into it do not see an escape

Boys are kicked to the streets at 14 or 15.

Flabby, nasty old men given another 14 year old girl every year or so?

It is paradise for pedophiles.

Those butt ugly dresses and hair, too.

7. Yes. I watched it last week.

I assume there were similar groups in other cities.

As a woman in a blue state I’d like to do what I can to help women in red states get the care they need.
