The Handmaid's tale made me cry. Why do we have to fight such a hard, constant battle for ownership over our own bodies?
People seem to ignore the fact that when abortion was illegal, they still happened and that desperate women were dying from botched abortions, unable to get medical help because doctors either did not want to be associated with them or would call the police and have the dying woman arrested.
And it seems to have been forgotten that the Comstalk laws prevented people from getting contraceptive devices or even information about them as it was considered obscene.
It sickens me to think that a bunch of tea-tards want to take us back to those days. Grrr!!
