First the GOP came for abortion. Birth control, surrogacy and IVF are next.SUSAN J. DEMAS
(Michigan Advance) For girls like me who came of age in the 80s while the backlash to the womens liberation movement raged, it was a profoundly confusing time.

We were told that we could have high-powered jobs outside the home and raise children cloyingly known as having it all but wed probably be miserable and the kids would suffer. (Men, on the other hand, continued to experience no such dilemma).

How women fight back? VOTE as if what rights you have MATTER! Because they do!
For any woman who votes wrong will suffer the consequences along with the women who vote the correct way.
