a pregnant women has a better chance of losing her earning power for the rest of her life..
she has a greater risk of finding herself raising that baby alone...without the support of her husband...
she has a greater risk of watching the child needlessly suffer because the medicine needed is too expensive..
she has a greater risk that she will find empty cupboards and hungry children far too common....
she has a greater risk of watching the child needlessly suffer because the medicine needed is too expensive..
and she has a far greater risk of having to watch that child one day go off to fight another stupid war that is fought to make rich people richer!!

Sad but true. Emotions are boiling.
The worldwide marches are letting govts know what we want. Here in the US we have a right to petition our government for redress of grievances. Here are the grievances that will be petitioned.
This is all the March is about: ENDING VIOLENCE, REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, LGBTQIA RIGHTS, WORKER’S RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS, DISABILITY RIGHTS, IMMIGRANT RIGHTS, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE.
The anarcho-capitalists now in power will hear these grievances and decide how they will respond.
The majority will not be silent this time.

this is one of the biggest women's marches in history...
what energized women more this time around?
the same thing that energized all those groups the gathered yesterday?
the same thing that prompts a nation's citizens to scream to their gov't to stop dropping bombs on people who are just living their lives somewhere in the world, who's actions will never touch you in any way........

FEAR!!!
now, tell me, what have the conservatives done to reduce that fear? when they call half the country traitors, does this reduce the fears? do they when they start labeling the mainstream news outlets they don't like as "fake news"? do they when they move to repeal obamacare while not really giving anything of substance as a replacement thus leaving alot of people wondering how they will pay their insane healthcare costs in the future? tell me, just how did that stupid video of trump boasting that he just grabs p...ys.. which, isn't consensual when he admits he doesn't ask first. he just gets away with it, or got away with it, he won't anymore... because he is rich, he can bribe, he can lawyer up, and he can tear down and silence them and people know it!

I hear 'ya, MME, and get where you're coming from.
But, imo, it was the woman, Hillary Clinton herself, that "negotiated" the deal that gave Barack Obama the presidency in 2008. She could have won back then.

YES.
That is the conclusion I came to. She is a heartbreaker and I do believe that is intentional. She could have won back then. She left the option to take it to the convention when Rules & Bylaws Meeting convened.
She should have left that meeting and reminded everyone that Obama just sent his lawyers in and argued to toss out more than a million votes in Michigan & Florida. With the 2000 election still fresh in voter's minds, that would have been a powerful message.
But she kept her yap shut and proclaimed Obama the nominee. She dragged him across the finish line.
Sometimes I wonder if the biggest lie in U.S. politics is that Hillary ever wanted to be president.

except that....
if I was a little bit healthier, ya know could have actually driven there and been able to march, I would be there...
and I wouldn't have needed to be paid to do it! I am not alone, no one is truly alone, there are many who would not have needed to be paid.
no one should expect changes to occur overnight, or even within their own century...
but no one should accept going backwards!

I'll admit that trump might surprise us and crap on the republican congress just as badly..
but that won't change the fact that the congress will be trying to walk backwards on many issues.
it will just lead to another four years much like obama's last years...
nothing much getting done.
let's see how far that heartbeat bill makes it through congress and weather or not trump actually signs it if it does..

The jury is still out for me on Trump. I can't shake the feeling that the People have been fooled again.
But, I am willing to give Trump a chance and am suspending judgment until he's been able to prove himself either way.
