I haven't been writing much and I notice that I'm losing my readers. I jump from thought to thought, as I'm just overwhelmed by the continued horrors of our political system. Finally, George Zimmerman was indicted for murder, but it took political rallies all over our country for this to happen.
In Texas, Rick Perry (and what can one say about a population that would have elected Perry as their governor) has dispensed with Federal funds for Planned Parenthood. In Texas, Planned Parenthood provides basic health care, including cancer screenings and birth control prescriptions and information, to some 300,000 poor women, mainly in rural areas where no other health care is available. On top of this, Texas has more uninsured than any other state.
And now we have the infamous new law in Arizona that bans all abortions after 20 weeks of gestation. I feel as though I'm caught in a nightmare, waiting to wake up but I never do wake up. This is our country today. We're at war with Islamic nations, yet competing with them in every way to denigrate women. Please let me wake up!
