" I don't want you to be working for all this abortion rights crap".
Then he said something about how barefoot and pregnant was a good thing in his mind.( I had 2 toddlers at the time)

Thereafter, every morning at 6 am, I put Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman Hear Me Roar" on the record player on LOUD
and he became my ex a few short months later.
Washington State voted for Abortion Rights that fall.

Haven't looked back......

Just think -- if you hadn't done that, you might still be with that asshole. Looks like you have some excellent decision-making skills.

who have sex for reasons other than having babies.

"Nothing about contraception should be taught in schools. There is no question that it will encourage sexual activity." (Phyllis Schlafly, New York Times, 10/17/92)

"[The] feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
(Fundraising letter from Pat Robertson that was an in-kind contribution to the Iowa Committee to Stop ERA, as reported in The Washington Post, August 23, 1993)
