Every thinking woman in this country had better step up to the plate now. What's next? No women in the workforce? The authoritarian agenda here should be very clear: women as paid-for sex will be allowed birth control. The rest will be breeding machines. Y'all ready for that?

1. Again, if people are afraid of what could happen, they need to be mad about what's happening now

when it comes to disenfranchisement among black people, people of color, poor people and disabled people. If you*'re upset that this is suddenly a reality that's staring you in the face, you need to at least take a little bit of time examining why you didn't holler when it was happening to people on the margins.

I remember this struggle in the 60’s & 70’s - we fought for ourselves, our daughters and our granddaughters. Apparently my daughter will not fight for hers.

5. Men and women don't differ on abortion rights

I guess I understand why that perception continues to exist.
