Do you remember when Republicans (mostly) were yelling “My Body, My Choice” regarding vaccinations against Covid-19? They were against vaccinations that could save their pathetic lives. Do you remember? Well, I do. It makes my blood boil.

It made my blood boil then, too. Make no mistake about that! But I am sitting here thinking about the issue of abortion. No one wants to get an abortion…and no one wants to kill babies, but there are circumstances where abortion is the choice a woman must make regarding her personal and individual situation. This is a decision between a woman, her partner (if she has one), and her doctor. The government doesn’t belong in that equation!

Why am I bringing up abortion when I began this post about Covid-19? Don’t you see the hypocrisy? If the argument is “My Body, My Choice” regarding vaccinations, then why doesn’t it apply to a woman’s right to choose for herself regarding abortion? It’s her body…it should be her choice.

I am so sick to death of this conservative bullshit. They are pushing things beyond reasonable. This ban on abortion is setting this country back decades. I’m not saying abortion should be legal with absolutely no constraints. I don’t like abortion being used as a form of birth control because women know how to prevent pregnancy if they don’t want to become pregnant. However, what happens when a woman is raped? Should she be forced by the government, forced by men to have a child she didn’t ask for in the first place? What about the 12-year-old girl who is raped by her stepfather? Should she be forced to have a child that she’s not physically or mentally mature enough to have? What about a woman who must abort a pregnancy in order to save her own life? Perhaps to save her other children from losing their mother? There are numerous situations in life we just don’t have control over, and sometimes we have to make tough choices.

Why any woman would support a political candidate who wants a total ban on abortion (and the abortion pill) is beyond me. This isn’t about killing babies. No one wants to kill babies. Don’t get me wrong here. I don’t believe in abortion, but that doesn’t mean I want to take another woman’s rights and flush them down the toilet. It’s none of my damn business!

Republicans are putting women’s rights through a fucking paper shredder! If they have their way, it won’t be long before women won’t be allowed to vote or have their own bank accounts, have a job/career, or do anything of their own accord.

Hmmm… It’s looking more and more like The Handmaid’s Tale coming to life every day.

PS I highly recommend The Handmaid’s Tale to every woman. It will boil your blood and make you cry. It’s hard to watch but well worth your time. Trust me.

The following is my opinion. If you don’t like it, fine. Move along. You have your opinion, I have mine. Simple as that.

Book Banning: It’s a no-brainer. If a child wants to check out a book in the library (school or public library, no matter) that’s too mature for his/her age group then the librarian can decline to check that book out to the child. Certain books can be flagged within the system to help the librarian so she doesn’t have to strain her brain.

Most of us don’t live in tiny, protective bubbles. We swear when we stub our toes. We swear when we get pissed off. It doesn’t show a lack of intelligence. It’s real life. Say the f-word once in a while. It’s really a stress reliever! PS Most people have a little class and don’t blurt out the f-word in Church or in the school PTA meeting. So, stop judging people based on the words they use! It says more about you than it does about them.

Secretary of State with the power to overturn an election? What’s the point in voting if your vote doesn’t matter? If your state’s officials can overturn the election if they don’t like the results, then what the hell is the point? What is going on in this country anyway?

I am against abortion. I am pro-choice. Yes, you can be both! On one hand, I don’t believe in using abortion as a form of birth control, because a woman knows if she wants to have a baby or not. If she doesn’t, there are many forms of birth control available at low and no cost. (I know birth control isn’t 100%.) On the other hand, I don’t believe it’s right for any of us to make that choice for someone else. If you don’t believe in abortion, then don’t get one, but a 12-year-old child who is raped and becomes pregnant should NOT be forced into having her rapist’s child! She’s still a child herself. She didn’t have a choice in becoming pregnant, did she? If a pregnant woman finds out her child will be born with a fatal defect…for example, Anencephaly. That child will not live longer than a few hours, maybe days, without a brain. PERIOD. The woman, her husband, and the physician should be allowed to make the choice of terminating the pregnancy. Why make the parents suffer this birth that will leave them more heartbroken and grief-stricken than they would if they aborted the pregnancy? What about Ectopic pregnancies? There are many situations that a woman may find herself in where she might consider an abortion. The decision is hers to make, along with her partner and her doctor. It’s not about killing babies! It’s about CHOICE – a choice that is most likely, the most difficult decision any woman will ever have to make! Let HER make it! It’s none of your damn business and it sure as hell isn’t any business of the government or ignorant politician! I swear this country is inching closer and closer to a scenario straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale.

Trump – Lock his ass up. Sick of hearing his name, his voice, or anything about him. He’s a criminal. That’s all I have to say.

What’s eating you these days?
