On the eve of the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade...

I can't begin to say how say how relieved I am that Obama secured a second term. Romney boasted that his first executive order would have been to reinstate the Global Gag Policy on abortion. He was gonna show how tough he was by denying millions of poor women around the world access to health care.

Seeing Obama take the Oath of Office for the second time, I feel so grateful, I could cry.

Mitt is now officially consigned to the scrap-heap of history.
