JAIL time

Having a miscarriage is now grounds for going to jail — and some states want to put women to death for having an abortion. This is the sign of a failed or failing democracy. If women don’t have rights then what are we? Hospitals are reporting to the police now. I feel sick inside.

If we don’t get a grip on this insanity this country is toast. I tried to find out who is standing up for these women — I googled it in several different wordings and couldn’t find even one article about lawyers defending them or winning or anything. I do know that the ACLU is doing their best to stop this madness, but it’s happening anyway. Women need to organize! This is unbelievable and sick.

Everyone understands how sick this is, (except the bastards who are passing the bills) and yet it seems that everyone is just rolling over like a bunch of sheep to the slaughter. We need a concerted effort here — we need a women’s march. This cannot go on like this — not in a country that touts itself as being free. No one is free in a country that does this shit. Who will be next? We know who — they’ve already started their sick campaign against LGBTQ, etc…now no more drag shows. Don’t say gay, bans on books, bans on education that talks about anything true. What’s next? Alcohol? Seriously, what will make us angry enough to stand up and scream? We have runaway gun violence and that doesn’t do it, and now women’s bodies are no…
