from a woman who never spoke about a rape until now. It's heartbreaking. Damn those Republican bastards all to hell.
God bless you, honey.

remembering the pain in that poor woman's voice and her saying over and over, "But I didn't have a choice!" She was raped 12 years ago and this the first time she's spoken about it to anyone, not even her husband. Ed handled it very well but you could tell he was shook up by it. I know I was.
