| 55. abortion...let the pregnant decide |
|
for women who are being sexually molested for women who do not know that fucking makes babies for women who endure what we cannot imagine for women who do not want to have a baby
the choice is theirs will always be theirs. abortions will always happen, and they must be legal and safe.
