It's like the large # of women who are perfectly content going along with and supporting the overturning of Roe, are non-existent.

News Flash: There are plenty of Female MAGA's out there.

While the majority of women may feel offended by the overturning of Roe, there are probably a good 1/3rd who are fine with it.

is that a lot of women get killed for being pregnant. The 20-year old doesn't want to be saddled with a kid, the cheating man doesn't want his mistress to have a kid, they may see an easy out in just making the pregnant woman disappear.

Inflation and gas prices go up and down, but reproductive rights affect women (and their friends and families) for decades.

On June 24, I knew from the reaction of my social media contacts that these medieval right wing freaks had poked a hornet's nest exponentially larger than they ever could have imagined.

There's no chance that I could ever get pregnant. But I will not forget. Not ever. I remember how scary it was when I was in my 20's and missed a period. No woman should ever be forced to have a child against her will. Needless to say, girls too young to consent to sex should not ever have anyone tell them they have to give birth

Ummm, it's the men that have sex casually and promiscuously.

Men think that women can be pregnant for 8 1/2 months and then suddenly and capriciously decide to abort. They are the ones that don't think about the pregnancies they cause unless forced to.

With apologies to the many good men who are loving and supportive to the women in their lives.

When you had to hold your first pee in the am or get a cup before.

The nurse came back and said it was positive. I walked to my car in complete freak and panic. At least I knew exactly who the new Papa would be….

As I got to my car, a nurse ran out and said, Mrs X (I wasn’t married, but those were the times) W
