20. I was against abortion as a choice for me, but worked my butt off for Pro-Choice
Mon Jul 4, 2016, 04:17 PM
Jul 2016

Was chairman of our county Pro-choice group, all this way back in early 70's in my state.

I truly do not believe in telling other people how to live their lives
and mandatory pregnancy, decided by mostly men, really pissed me off.

Outlawing contraception PLUS mandatory pregnancy has nothing to do with medicine and has everything to do with patriarchal domination.

Or, as they are calling it today, dominion.
