Have gop politicians forgotten the old adage (promoted mostly by men)? I've heard it time and

again..."Women never forget a wrong". They insist on pushing the anti-woman agenda, but come November, the "women who never forget" will use their memories and the gop will lose their votes for putting them in the bulls-eye concerning abortion rights and contraceptives.

Contraceptives have done more to free women to pursue their dreams of a satisfying career than any other thing.

They also don't have to worry about "will you love me tomorrow?" like the song says.

Contraceptives allowed us to recover between pregnancies instead of having them back to back and dying of old age in our thirties unless childbirth itself killed us off. It allowed us to have only as many children as we wanted and could afford to feed, so we didn't have to deal with putting crying, hungry children to bed every night.

Contraceptives protected our health and our lives, as well as allowing us to feed our children.

This is what those picklefaced males in church and state don't understand: contraceptives are basic health care for women. They are not a convenience nor do they give us license to be harlots. They allow us to live.

Reproductive healthcare of all unlimited kinds seems like such a BASIC right to me... not even worthy of debate or contradiction...
