2. Take a look at the griswold sc decision 1965

It had to go to the sc to allow bc pills to be legal throughout the US for married couples. It wasn't until 1972 that the court made bc pills legal for unmarried women. I was not married, had a child and could not get bc pills anywhere but planned parenthood. Planned parenthood and many of us fought that fight. In the late 60's I belonged to a woman's co-op and set up a babysitting co-op so poor female students had daycare. We taught menstrual extraction before roe. I lived in a commune at the time, there were no beds for detox for women in the county, so we bought women home with us to detox them. We ran a storefront center 24/7 for any woman who needed refuge because there was no such thing as domestic violence. When I went to nursing school I was the 1st in that school to not live at the school and I was a single parent who worked, they didn't know what to do with me. This was in my lifetime, I won't give an inch on women's rights, not an inch. So when I look at Hillary and women in my age group, I know what they were up against. Ask your mother's and grandmothers what is was like. I don't want my country back.
