(36,437 posts)Let's compile a list. In a thread about NC, a poster today, said OH was compromised. I'm not sure what happened with TX. I'm going to go searching.
Every day is a new outrage. State by state they are taking away our basic right to determine our own lives. I started seething last summer, with all the wretched comments coming from (mostly) republican men, legitimate rape, shut that whole thing down, all that filth. The anger simmers inside of me all of the time, but flares up badly on weeks like this.
I have a repub friend, who was so pissed off at the comments coming from the repubs last summer. "They're not taking my birth control away from me or my daughters!" & then three weeks later she 'liked' Romney & Ryan on her FB page. WTF? I haven't done anything with her since then. We chat on the phone now & then, but it changed how I feel about her.
I won't even go into how badly it felt when, several years ago, my mother told me, "I don't care about those (reproductive) issues anymore since I don't have to worry about that anymore." I could not believe that this was the same woman who talked to me about the significance of Roe v Wade when I was a teen.
