21. Where did I say I was blaming ONLY young women? I did NOT and I WILL NOT allow YOU or anyone

to restate, reframe, and bastardize what I actually said. It is disingenuous and uncalled for. Take that elsewhere as I want nothing to do with those who cannot ask questions where they may be unclear but simply ascribe malign intent to comments not made, but rather strawman arguments you substitute instead.

And no, it is not just by anecdotal assumptions, having been a provider that has supported the efforts and Planned Parenthood in every way over the past 40+ years! Again, take that elsewhere. You know nothing, but assume all about me. This is an emotional day for all women. You ought to take your desire to fight off the board, rather than throwing accusations at the many other devoted pro-choice pro-democratic long-term members on this forum.
