I am 55 years old... 25 years ago, I started warning young women to step up their game and join and be active in feminist and reproductive rights organizations because this was where we were heading. I can't tell you how many times I was told that Roe was settled law and there was no way that they would restrict "the pill" usage. Well, for most states, Roe is all but done and the fundies are coming after our birth control.
