Is it me or is the Medicare idea another under-the-bus issue for women?
I found myself last night thinking "Thank heaven, I just turned 55!" But that means all those abortion, chilbearing, reproductive rights issues are off the table as far as I'm concerned, and this won't do a thing for young women who face these things. I've never leaned toward the paranoid, but I swear I'm worried about the creeping, insidious removal of women's rights, and I fear that the up-and-coming generation is so worried about whether they'll even survive econmically that they don't think about it.

Someone correct me if I've missed anything; I'd welcome it.

1. You missed males under age 55
who get nada, just like females under 55.

The powers have neatly swapped an age war for a gender war. The screwing will continue apace.

2. Yup, it seems women's right are
negotiable. So are their lives. It appears to me that they are scared of women.
"Women have to know there place" etc. Code for something much worse.
