Their trip was one of many early accomplishments in the fight for women's equal rights. It has taken over a hundred years, but the ladies have proven what we already have known for thousands of years, that women are as capable as men.
Then Jerry Falwell and other evangelical preachers fired up the Pro Birthers and the Christian Nationalists. It was during Reagan's first run for office they managed to wrap their talons around Right Wing agendas throughout the Bible Belt. Now our country is regressing back to the times we have struggled so hard to get away from.
It is great that women now have the freedom to wear what they want. They have never looked better in my opinion.. Sadly though, if they live in or visit the wrong states, their bodies become the properties of the State. Uterine Slavery is alive and well and legal in 12 states today. It is no coincidence that the states with the highest per capita populations of Christians have the most repressive laws regarding women's rights.
The claim that the Pro Birthers are Pro Life is Bullshit. There is no wiggle room in the term "Pro Life". Being for Capital Punishment and claiming the Pro Life moniker is the worst kind of hypocrisy. Endorsing candidates who take away food from the hungry, housing from the poor, and the rights of the disenfranchised are not "Pro Life" qualities. Their "Pro Life" claim is nothing but a form of repression, an attempt to control and keep a lid on the growth of women as fiull participants in our democratic process.
Like most of the Right, many Christians have no problem with their leaders' blatant hypocrisy. The reason is, their religion is based on a book written by dishonest men. It excuses Repression, Slavery, Hypocrisy, Lying, and Deictful Action. And possibly worst of all, Christian Nationalists tend to champion the extremists in thier sects and allow them to set their course.
If I could change one thing, I would hope that any Pro-Choice believer would not continue to call the lying Pro Birthers other than what they are........ "Anti-Choice" or maybe even better, call them "Forced Birthers", because that is what they are.
Welcome back to the "Good Ole Days".

As the A-I generated craze begins its conquest of our culture, I find it interesting that it has been able to secure so much support in such a short time. A good many folks like me were caught off guard maybe, but for the most part, America and the World seem to be okay with computers taking over the chore of creating, monitoring and running our reality.
I suspect any music generated by a band named "Toad Bone" is computer generated music. It is too slick and there is no information out there as to whether it is a group of humans making the music or a computer. This lack of transparency pisses me off. I have to say that I have enjoyed some of the AI tunes I have listened to. And I now realize that some that I thought were the work of real humans were not.
This kind of sneaky bullshit coming from the Tech World should make all of us nervous.
Anyway here is Toad Bone with, "She's Got Lightening in Her Eyes". Don't get too excited. A computer created this.

Red states and red counties all calling themselves Christians of course rank at the bottom of so many categories, it is pathetic. Voters have concluded that it doesnt matter how bad they have it as long as people they hate have it worse.
Blog Fodder - "Voters have concluded that it doesnt matter how bad they have it as long as people they hate have it worse."
And we were so close to turning the corner. Human Nature is a bitch.
