No talk about "abortion should be safe, legal, and rare." Nope, it needs to be safe, legal, and readily available.

No talk about religious exemptions for goddamn birth control. My body; my choice whether to have children and how many.

No more $0.77 for every goddamn dollar a man makes. I want equal pay, dammit.

It's time to bring back the ERA.
