I just can't help but thinking there are a whole lot of pervert repubs getting off on the whole idea of forcing women to have this done.
I hated having to have them done, but it was a necessity in my case. We tried for 4 yrs. Thankfully, our successful, single embryo-transfer kidcicle is now 11 yrs old and just made honor roll for the 2nd marking period  |

45. All women are Virginians today

This isn't about coeercing and raping just the women of VA, they want this right everywhere. RW'ers are at heart women haters because women represent life and sex and they hate that.
They want to return us to the middle ages where the church and state ruled everything and the peasants had no rights whatsoever. That's the real goal.   |
