How can anyone argue that a clump of cells has more rights than the living breathing woman the cells belong to? I try not to hate people, but I really hate people who work to make this decision for women. I wish the fucking rapture would happen & remove the religious scourge from the planet.

about six weeks ago. What a mistake! There's a reason I left that little town with 11 churches in it! Most of them are still religious & some have gone downright fundy. I've un-friended a few already. Don't need that shit in my life.
