Well Jill, as someone suffering from potentially fatal autuimmune disorder that could very likely have had a cure by now if stem cell research had not been slowed down by Bush excuse me for not joining your celebration. As someone who has always followed all the rules, worked my *** off to put myself through college only to have my career cut short due to illness and now find that due to laws passed by the Bush administration my employer can drop me from my health insurance and guess what.... medicare doesn't cover s***. That new drug plan the Republicans are patting themselves on the back for, well it's useless as it doesn't cover generics for lots of drugs and alot of drugs it doesn't cover at all.. Therefore the drug plan costs me not only the premium, the deductible, the co-pay and for a prescription that the generic is $25.00 for 84 tablets with the Republicans wonder plan, besides all of the fees, I have to pay $90.00 for 25 tablets!
Maybe you don't remember the 50's and 60's before Roe vs. Wade? Women were left at best sterile but more often maimed and bleedi, sometimes to death, from undergoing back alley abortions because the government felt it was their job to decide who should be forced to bear children. I pray you or someone you love is never a victim of rape or incest and will never have to go through the additional rape by the judicial system of having to "prove your case" in the courts before you would be allowed to terminate such a pregnancy.
Maybe you don't remember the conditions a lot of our citizens lived in before President Johnson inacted social reform? Yes, back in the "good old days" when there was none or very limited public housing, no nutrition programs for the poor, no educational assistance for childtren from low income families, the only children who even went to kindergarden did so through private schools. The poor and minorities(including women) were treated with little respect and had little chance of bettering themselves.
Pray that your health doesn't fail and that your employer doesn't downsize or ship your job overseas,
