As a woman

As a woman I am getting pretty damned tired of being considered a mere collection of body parts to be governed over by men in black robes, people, (including ignorant women who kowtow to men) who preach at me on the floor of the people's house about what I can do with my body and by priests who can't keep it in their pants. Most of the people who do the preaching wouldn't know an elbow from a uterus, claim to be "pro life", but couldn't care any less about the lives of women and in fact couldn't be more dismissive of the lives of children born into this world to parents who for whatever reason, did not want them and could not care for them.

I am a woman, fully grown with all the capabilities to reason, probably better than any man alive. If people don't like abortion, then don't have one. If you don't like Planned Parenthood, don't go and don't send your money to them. There are many things my government supports with which I disagree and yet, I am compelled to pay for them with my tax dollars. People need to grow up in this country.

I know this has been said before, but I am angry and needed to repeat it.
