Roe v Wade, Jan. 22, 1973. 48 years ago. In those 48 years, we have seen relentless, escalating,

hate-filled, and sometimes murderous attacks by woman-hating gestational slavers. Hundreds of pieces of legislation designed to restrict access, to punish women for daring to think that they should/could exercise bodily autonomy.

I live just a few miles from the site of one of the most recent murderous attacks-the Black Friday mass shooting at a PP in Colorado Springs. I have worked as a clinic escort, trolled the woman-hating gestational slavers with a group of friends in guerilla theatre. I have received death threats, been assaulted for believing we have a right to choose.

"Nevertheless, she persisted." And will continue to do so.

Today, a ray of sun. The Biden-Harris administration announced its support for reproductive rights, codifying Roe, and overturning the "global gag rule". Hope and help.

1. Yes. Surprised to not see any Anti-roe 'protests' today.

First ones I recall were 36 years ago, as I was giving birth! My daughter's the mother of 2 now, and I'm grand-mother of 4!!!

2. I think even those nutjobs are going virtual. Not sure they could have protested in ?DC, at least.

Sounds like you have a lovely family.

3. As I've said ...

No woman is truly free unless she has
the right to decide when, or if she has a child (children).
