I Hate To Get All Political...

Last night GPOM and I started the discussion of timing of children for us.  Needless to say, that was a tough and interesting talk and thank goodness only the first of many.

Today, I ran across this.

It reminded me of how much time I've had to spend, as an uninsured woman, getting my Depo shots from the local clinic.  Each time I walked toward that place, there were abortion protesters.  People dressed in Victorian dress, blocking me from walking on the sidewalk, yelling, "You don't have to kill your baby!"

I was there to prevent said baby.

I'll be honest - going there would set my nerves on fire, and it would take me ten to fifteen moments to calm down long enough to hold a pen.  It was that bad - my hands would shake so badly that I couldn't even sign in for my BIRTH CONTROL appointment.

A "representative" who says such things must clearly know nothing about being a woman, about choices, about spur-of-the-moments decisions...wow, my brain is all over the place with things I want to say.

But I want to say this: You, you, and especially YOU have no right to decide what's best for me or my family.  If this bill passes, I'm interested in a letter-writing campaign about chemical castration.

Sound fair?
