only females are spayed. Males are neutered (or castrated). But he's got the right idea......

We have always said, "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament."

Just one question
How do you handle the Right to Life people?
I see their protests on the news.
The signs they have.
The people they have that are trying to overturn Roe v Wade.
This SCOTUS pick that 45 has to make.

All of this could boil over across the nation.

Expect that. If you get into it with them...don't let them make it about babies.
Keep the focus on the right to control your own body. Stay away from the men at these pro-choice rallies. They are very angry and prone to verbal abuse and threats.

Roe is long settled law and in many ways, we declared victory and kind of walked away from the battle field. The mistake the left always makes is that we never factor in the fact that the right NEVER gives up. Our victory is nothing to them but a bump in the road. They play the long game.

How can you have solid progress when the other side never relents, and is constantly chipping away?

This can go a long way for me and my friends staying in one piece. You are right with the warning that this will get ugly. No one needs to be hurt or worse here, and a guy all bent on saving the world one Pro Choice supporter at a time is a scary thing to have on the streets.

That’s always been my first thought.

NO ONE owns MY body - or has ANY say about it - but ME.

that the majority of White women voted for Trump,

I not only support women's reproductive rights more than the majority of White women do, but I support all women's rights in general more than the majority of White women do.

Have Republicans spayed or neutered. That'll prevent abortions.
