Been through life before Roe and during and now soon to be after. We are controlled enough. We needed the ERA but there was not enough interest. As to a different but important point, I appreciate men who support us but they MUST step back and not get all offended if we do not want then with us during some of our events. We need to take care of this and we are absolutely prepared and capable of doing it ourselves. After all, we have been warning this was coming and there was really little call for support from them. Back us but let us run this without getting all offended. PLEASE.

Do not be offended, if you are with us do your own thing for us because if we win you win.

We need to know we can do this. We need to prove we can do this. I have absolutely no fear that we will fail, we will NOT fail.



Of course, this is just my opinion. I am surrounded by men who support us....if we let them run things. Mistake.

I was 19 n just would not goose step to his religious beliefs and control. Never looked back. At this point in my life, I don’t intend to give up my rights w/o a fight or face the consequences boldly. I don’t say this lightly. I’m much older now and know what I say.

It is called voluntarily living in human society, even moreso when done, as you do, under the auspices of a modern nation state.

But I presume you're talking Abortion Restrictions, which won't affect Californians.

The state doesn’t mean people have access. They won’t be prosecuted for sure. I don’t understand why people think it’s okay to subject people with a uterus to laws not applicable to people without a uterus and think we’re going to go along. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK!

Cause I'm sure they will be forced to give birth after being raped and risk death.

But equating maggots and their gun fetish to people losing basic human rights to save themselves from dying is a bridge too far for me.

But I’m beyond fertile years. For me it is about the principle and helping keep abortion legal for others.

I live in NY. Where we are protected, but it sickens me deeply to my core how horrific it is about to get for millions of women in this country.

Mentally, I feel like I’m suffocating. Maybe it’s suppression I’m experiencing. And a sense of panic that all women must be feeling.

They can’t take this right away from us. It is cruel and barbaric.
