* Hillary Rodham Clinton and Cecile Richards (president of Planned Parenthood) on the Bush Administration blocking health care for women. This stuff scares the hell out of me. I mean, I feel pretty safe in NYC because I have so many options, but what if I’m traveling in a more isolated area and something bad happens? What about the women who live in those isolated areas? What if the only clinic they can afford to get to won’t sell birth control pills? What if they get raped and refused emergency contraception to protect a doctor’s “conscience”? What about the woman’s right to make her own medical choices? What about if you don’t want to provide health care, don’t choose a job in the medical profession? (*headdesk*)

* penknife on the direct effect of Obama and McCain’s policies on LGBT people and families.

Please forward these to anyone you know who thinks that politics doesn’t matter because it doesn’t affect their daily lives or because both parties are “exactly the same.” :P

Current Mood: frustrated
