Go ahead and call this old lady sexist, too, if you want. But I am sick and tired of young female voters NOT getting the significance of the real possibility of losing Roe v. Wade. The younger women that I am exposed to are constantly just "meh, it doesn't affect me". Bullshit!

If for NO OTHER REASON, these young people, and yes particularly the young women, need to get out and vote to keep abortion safe, accessible and legal. The Republican intent to make abortion illegal and punish women is a very REAL intent. It is imperative on the rest of us to make sure that does not happen.
