First, they came for women seeking abortions, but I am not a woman so I stood silent.

Then, they came for doctors who had performed life-saving abortions, but I am not a doctor so I kept quiet.

Next, they came for people who use birth control, but my wife is past child-bearing age, so---again---I minded my own business.

Then, they came for those in same-sex or mixed-race marriages, but my wife an I are both straight caucasians, so------

And, now, some say they may use face recognition technology to come for those of us at the January, 2021 "Women's March", but that's just too extreme even for them! There's no way----------

Be right back---there's someone at the door--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
