This fucked-up nation, motherhood, and the importance of a vasectomy. 050722
A Special Mother's Day Weekend Edition. (Day 60!)
This country having to prepare for a Post-Roe apocalypse… Are we not already going through a world pandemic? What the actual fuck? I was chatting with a good (male) friend last night who told me he had long talks with his brother and mother about this law overturning before our eyes, and how much it horrified him. He is Catholic, and he cannot speak to his father about this subject. I am very grateful he felt comfortable confiding in me about his dilemma, and I appreciate good men very much.
One of my prerequisites for getting married to Mr. Snugs was him getting a vasectomy. (And of course, he was totally on-board.) I had been on birth control for over 15 years, and sometimes while getting them, my life was threatened outside of the Planned Parenthood in Southeast Portland, Oregon. Those horrific waste of lives screaming at me, taunting me, threatening to bomb the building while I was inside are NOT pro-life. Women are people, too.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the strong women out there. (Especially to the best one, mine.) I’m glad you chose to have me, but you didn’t have to.

Spot. The fuck. On. ❤️❤️❤️
T---p never should've "won" in 2016, and sadly that's why we are where we are. Voting matters, and a lot of people are learning the hard way, with a woman's right to choose in jeopardy in half the country. (Thank you Democrats for caring and being compassionate in the face of old white men wanting to turn back the clock.) But thank goodness you were born and that vasectomies are safe and legal. But the idea that there are these blowhard, bat-shit crazy, anti-life people (male and female) threatening you outside Planned Parenthood in Portland OR is just wrong. But I love your bottom line: Women Are People Too!
