Plan C

dear ms. roman catholic secretary sebilius--- are you aware of what you have done to the young women living within the borders of the empire, today? are you aware that your delusional christian “ethics” have led you to stand in front of young women the nation over & assert that they NOT be allowed control of their bodies in this supposed “land of the free.” as representatives of the empire maraud the earth speaking on behalf of the “freedoms” that women have here, the drug plan b is stopped from being readily available to young women & the fact that we all make mistakes that we all have impulses from which if we are lucky we can only learn from in retrospect, this is all thrown to the side. rather, mr. obama, who “was not involved in the process” of reversing the FDA’s approval for plan b to be sold over the counter now marches in line following mr. bible-beating-bush in the attempt to gain support from pro-lifers everywhere by speaking of his own daughters as if they will ever face the same struggles as other young women in the same way. as long as believers in this country have any sway they will beat their drums as loud as possible in hopes that all will get in line & pop out kids like a pez dispenser regardless of what the financial situation might be in which a young single mother might have to raise it regardless of whether a father is present or not regardless of the young woman’s own future aspirations might have been before she made one impulsive mistake for which she now must abruptly halt her life completely for the sake of one more body on this overpopulated planet. it’s obvious that women need a plan C--- they need to be able to circumvent these legal proceedings which aim at nothing more than stifling their ability to gain agency in a world that is STILL male dominated--- but as such a practice might be unsafe or harmful they continue to suffer oppressed within the so-called democracy where their opinions are supposed to matter. a choice is not a decision that others make for you.
