WOMEN:
You had best be prepared to VOTE this year. It is an election that could set women back pre-Roe vs Wade. That means back alley abortions. Some of the people running for President want only Men and babies to have rights. The rights of women are on the back burner.
It is not as if we are telling women to have an abortion or else, we are asking for the right to make our own choice in this very private matter. We need to protect womens right to choose, and this MUST be prepared to make this a PRIMARY issue in this election. The Supreme Court of this country is being stacked against women on this issue and we must pay attention to that fact before it is too late. If you as an American woman are not outraged you are not paying attention.
