22. All good points, Cousin IT! I agree 100%

I remember reading somewhere that around 50% of all American births are unplanned.

Rethuglicans want to do away with sex education in schools. SCOTUS hinted around they’re gonna go after birth control next.

You can find hundred of articles on the internet proving what a tough climb it is for women to make anything of themselves when they have a child too young or before they’re fully educated/ employed/financially secure themselves.

And the sad stories of older women who gave up their lives to care for a chronically ill spouse or partner, then after that spouse dies, the older woman is left with nothing. Like the lady in my posted article.

Hillary understood all these issues …. I heard her give a speech addressing these issues…But of course, her emails ….
