Circus Barker
Kathy, this is why, after 12 years, I recognize a down draft/tornado about to happen.

You may feel that anything from Harvard is somehow slanted, but it sums up what we have been witness to. I have thought a lot about it on my own, away from commentators. Our local newspaper is slanted to protect these guys.
I really respect that you enter into exchange about all our worries. We are all surely worried. I want you to know that, since the day Trump got elected, it has not been about wanting Hillary instead. She lost. It's over.
For me it's about protesting a force that endangers my hard won rights and those of my family. For example family planning. Alice got a gynecological exam and birth control pills from Planned Parenthood in LA while she was working here in AL because Alabama would not permit her any. Also when I was in college, girls died from infections following backstreet abortions. Nobody likes abortion, but it is a godsend to have safe, legal abortion in our country. I always argued with Penny that there were alternative abortions happening in the streets when unwanted babies grew up into young black men murdered on some parking lot. I have believed this for almost 50 years and watched unwanted babies shoot each other all over the country, everywhere I've lived, for every one of those years.
For my part, I had the National Health in England. Dr Helena M. Reckless who referred me to the Migraine Center where I found out birth control pills were giving me crippling migraines. I had to use another form of birth control. Thank god for the National Health.
So those are two things I respect that are targeted to be dismantled.
