Wow. That covers the situation now. What we need to make everyone understand next, is that we're not going back. Never. Not Ever. This isn't only about abortion or even birth control. It's about "control." Republicans, mostly republican men, have lost their grip on control and they'll do whatever they have to, to get it back. It's a redux of the 1950s where women couldn't borrow money for a car or anything else, even if they had satisfactory income to cover payments, unless a male co-signed for her. Her father, brother, uncle, nice neighbor down the street - didn't matter who, as long as he was male. Girls were taught, even in the most tacit of ways, to let the boys win, to be ladylike, to not hurt a boy in retaliation, that boys were smarter and more important, to aspire to being a wife and mother and keep a clean house. OMG. It's a wonder any of us ever broke the mold. But we did. And the 'mold' is broken. We will not sit still and "be ladylike" while they try to refit the mold. Thanks for your insight, Nick!
