52. Those were almost the exact words my son used when Roe was brought down by SCOTUS

Jul 2022

It was an odd conversion for a Mom to have with her adult son I guess.. But we driving somewhere and we have always had the best conversations in the car.. I was talking about feeling like a second class citizen again.. and told him stories of when I was in my early twenties and first married and could not get a credit card without his Dad signing on, and when I could not use my name prior to marriage when I registered for college... and he told me that he had not really thought about it too much till SCOTUS did that.. and I told him that they would be going after contraception next.. and he looked at me and said "Mom its not about being a 2nd class citizen, they are treating women like they are animals who they can control the breeding of".. He was angry.. My son is 34 and it is not only women who are angry.. it is young people period.. there will be a price to pay by the republicans..
