Thread in support of Sen Davis who must filibuster (no breaks) 13 hours to kill TX abortion bill

[calimary]

55. And another here who remembers how it was, and how hard we had to fight - just for the

right to decide what happens to OUR OWN PERSONAL BODIES. That piece of real estate between the neck and the knees. On a woman, that particular territory belongs TO HER AND HER ALONE. And it's HER decision what happens with it, and within it.

And I'm afraid this is NON-NEGOTIABLE. There can be no compromise. This is an ABSOLUTE. A woman's right to have the last word, the ultimate jurisdiction, the final say (or as my mother used to put it, "say-so&quot over HER own body is an ABSOLUTE. We're not asking for the last word on anyone else's body. But then again... maybe that's part of the problem?

Maybe we women ought to start legislating what the scrotum and penis can do, and what's done to it. How 'bout WE decide for the men - to "help" them or "protect" them, because they can't possibly understand on their own. How fucking cavalier is THAT? If I were in the legislature, I'd tack amendments galore like that onto everything. I'd be the biggest pain in the ass the menfolk had ever encountered. And I'd want to answer everything they did, with MY version of it, going back the other way at them.

Taste of their own medicine. See how they like it.
