I hate to be a one issue voter, but may have to become one; that's how important this issue is to me. I'm way past the childbearing years, but this country is looking more like the Handmaid's Tale with every passing election. I want my DIL and grand daughters (if I have any) to have the same rights I had 30 years ago. It was hard enough for we rural people to access then. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that this is the same country I grew up in.
