s-cubed's JournalJust called McDonnell's office to thank him for turning Virginia BLUE
I told the man who answeree that we women do not forget or forgive.
By the way, if anyone else wants to thank the governor as well, here
is his phone number:
804 786 2211
I think he deserves a lot of thank you calls, don't you?
It's not contraception, it's not about religion, it's women's health
I just called my two senators and representative - all male, to share the following facts:
My mother, a catholic, had 12 children. She was also, at times, on the pill for severe menstrual bleeding.
My older sister and I, and maybe others, were on the pill for a numberr of years to ease menopause symptoms and to help prevent osteoporosis.
One of my sisters had 3 ceasarean sections. She was told another pregnancy could kill her, due to massive scarring.
One niece's husband suffers from a serious genetic disorder. The pill prevents an abortion.
My daughter-in-law wants to space her children, for her health and her children's health.
Another niece has polycystic disorder, a hormonal problem.
I'm sure there are other reasons for taking the pill. These are just the ones I personally know of from my own family. I'm sure there are plenty of other medical reasons for taking the pill.
So, if you hear someone spouting off about this being a religious issue, they are flat out wrong. What about women employed by a church who have one of these medical conditions? These bishops are more interested in their control over women than the health of their members.
I believe Kipling figured this out
"For the female of the species is more deadly than the male"
Kipling had his blind spots, but he was spot on here.
