I think a lot of both my anger and fatigue is because I am fighting this AGAIN. Maybe it never stopped, but at least for a while after Roe, I felt the battle had been won. I grieve for my daughter and granddaughters that they still have to deal with this level of ignorance and pure hatred for women. Wish I could have toddled off into old age believing that I had left them a better place.
