I'll say one more thing, & this is addressed to young women of "marrying" &/or "child-bearing age" (I hate those vomit-inducing phrases, but I think you understand my purpose in using them), & that's that if I were young--at this time, in this country--there's no way in hell I'd get married. No. Way. In. Hell.
@BootsChantilly This is just another way to restrict women's autonomy. Since the woman gives way more to marriage and family than the man, speaking generally, it is safe to assume that men do not want to lose an unpaid source of labor. Women do well more than half the housework and nearly all the childcare, in addition to working full- to part-time. Leave people's sex lives and relationships the fuck alone and mind your own damn pee-pees, Republicans. SMALL GOVT. Get OUT of our beds!
Most of this happened to my Mother.
Abusive husband, two kids.
She took the kids and left him.
No chance of divorce.
Fell in love, had a baby, no birth control then. Her abusive husband got the divorce and the kids, with her being declared an unfit mother, my tiny body being proof. My name is forever enshrined in their divorce decree.
Vote. Vote.
Vote as if our very lives depend on it.
