The Republican Party's War On Women

[calimary]

8. It's just stunning isn't it? Mindboggling!

Hey you assholes, this is the 21st Century! NOT the 13th!

Believe me, pamela, I have pounded this home to my daughter and her friends. I have reminded and reminded. I have told them about how their older sisters fought, marched, even died, under this outrageous repression. I still remember my late father-in-law, a doctor, talking about the day he had to drive a hemorrhaging (and abandoned) woman to the hospital after she'd had a back alley abortion. Almost bled to death. He was as conservative as hell, but that incident moved him toward the belief that abortion should be safe and legal - because this amateur butchery in someone's most helpless, desperate moment, was just simply too hideous to be allowed to stand.

It's just astounding to me that we are STILL fighting this battle.
