I was a senior in high school in 1973.

So today I went to a protest to protest the same thing I was protesting then.

Good to see a lot fired up young people.

I went for my Mother who almost died trying to get a D/ C on 1963.

I was 10 years old.

I remember how sick she was but I didn't know why.

I almost lost my Mother at 10 years old.

1. I am having a lot of old bad memories too.

Young people have no idea what is in store for them.

2. They don't.

But they will learn now.

3. Most people have to learn things the hard way.

So they are entering a new era, learning what living under a white christian male dictatorship means.

4. Yep.

All those rights down the tubes.

5. Once we lose a right, it is hard to get it back.

6. With this supreme court.

Glad my granddaughters are in Canada.

I knew when Trump got in the court was gone.

7. I almost lost mine when I was 7 1/2 and my sister just 2.

When my mother was pregnant, into her 6th month, in the process of a miscarriage. That was January of 1960. Her Doctor knew she would not carry to term due to blood work that showed problems. She almost died due to severe blood loss.

Women today will be like my mother over 62 years ago. Almost dying, but my fear is thst very will be much younger than my mother was in 1960 when she was but 26 and pregnant for the 5th time after having had 2 previous miscarriages.

8. My Mother was 40.

I barely made it here.

She had three older kids real close together.

I didn't find out until later why my mother was so ill.

My Aunt had to come down to help out.

It was close.

She had a miscarriage and needed the D/C.

I saved her life in a way.

My Aunt took my newest school picture and shoved it in the Drs. face.
