Friday was a very sad day for female human beings. How many times have I said that we have been and continue to be the most oppressed group on this planet? I think the reversal of this 50-year right to abortion by activist, right-wing republican supreme court justices is a grasping of the patriarchal system of oppression that is doomed to implode. Along the way, though, this hijacking of our right to choose will wreak great havoc with far-reaching effects and complications for us. The genie is out of the bottle though, and I do not believe the younger generations that will be the most affected will stand for it, similar to gun control.

When the ruling was issued, expressing upset, I texted a friend who just happened to be spending the day as a foster parent to a 5-month old baby boy who was born with drugs in his system. She said, “So appropriate as I am here with a kid without a family - Ughhh!” With the forcing of pregnancies now, there are going to be lots more of these babies put into our broken foster care system.
