I remember when I was 14 years old. I was living with my Step-father and Mother on a 200 acre ranch.I met some beautiful Mexican girls when they were picking strawberries
on my parents ranch.It was the first summer a girl I knew,died. She was 16 and had tried to give her self an abortion.I asked how that could happen,(I was 14 and very naive.)
I learned about a coat hanger,and all about female anatomy.The girl died because of the shame her pregnancy would have brought to her family.
I was thrilled when Roe was upheld by the Supreme Court. No more self-induced abortions I thought.Women don't seek abortions unless they see no alternative.
this poor girl who died because the man who made her pregnant, could have had her
and her family thrown out of everywhere they worked. I wasn"t the father, but I know who was.
Now it"s 2014,and poor women are giving themselves abortions. In the lower Rio Grande part of Texas, No clinic exists for miles to help Women.Sometimes women are desperate to have an abortion. Total strangers have decided it"s okay for a desperate
poor woman to kill herself,as long as she doesn't have an abortion.Governor Perry has
publicly said he wants 0 abortions in Texas.He is guilty of hundreds of deaths.
Women are getting hurt the hardest in the Republican war on the poor.Food stamps
cuts are in the millions of dollars.Women are usually the single parent trying to raise
a child on minimum wage.Normally,the father is a coward and will not hang around
to help raise the child he fathered.
Women who find themselves in a child raising situation,normally vote Democratic.
Republicans can rid themselves of a Democrat,they wont have to raise her child.
They wont admit they had anything to due with the poor Woman,but wont miss her.
We are living in a time like the 1950"s. Rich women can get an abortion anytime. The
poor need to band together and realize the Republicans are their enemy.We need to
fund as many lawsuits as possible to force clinics to re-open and to restore food benefits.
I have always known the Republicans to be selfish and cruel. I have finally figured
out all Republicans are drenched in blood.
