It was very liberating for me....

To tell my Catholic, Christian relatives that I am VERY pro-choice. That I believe every woman has a right to choose. I am so glad to get that off my chest. Pissed them off but it made me so happy.

men prance around carefree. They are anti choice. Pro life is out of my vocabulary and I remind them they are forced birthers whenever it comes up. Damn I didn't think about this yesterday I would of thrown this in too to my dumper family.

that I am pro-choice and contribute to Planned Parenthood. She was so horrified that I felt that way that she went to speak to her pastor. They are praying for me. I can use prayers anyway.

I would never have said anything if she had not parroted her bigoted views to me at every opportunity.

I am so sick of bigoted anti-woman views being spouted out that I can puke. Your mom, like my own, sounds like a narrow-minded bigot. I love my family but I love my FEMALE LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE family more these days. Trump has indeed made me radical.

I'll entertain any anti-choice arguments folks want to advance. But we're doing such a piss-poor job of taking care of ourselves now, it's irresponsible to advocate for unfettered breeding.
