Great to see that nothing changed much, in spite of efforts -- because I 
was and have been part of them -- to prevent this.

So whatever. Who cares what republican strategists wanted. What they 
stirred up was the sentiment and since they stirred those steaming piles of 
fresh horse shit all around the country, there are millions of them, dried 
into piles of dungsticks with which the ratfucking godbags stoke the 
inferno of hell that will engulf this country while we cleverly give 
ourselves rimjobs.

S. Dakota. Mississippi and Missouri have started the ball rolling.

By the way, my son's friend discovered that it costs an entire day's wage 
to get a fucking morning after pill if you don't have insurance. And that's 
at planned parenthood!
