My 20-year-old son is the one who is losing it. He is in a committed relationship - in OH. Where they are ALSO trying to ban certain forms of birth control. He is seriously contemplating never having children of his own because of what he sees. And he's very accustomed to having an activist mommy who knows where to tell him to go to find the resources to resist this shit.

They ban doctors from talking about guns, now women's issues, but claim they want "small government", the fascist hypocrites.

Tell him it's like not voting because you dislike Hillary. That's one of the things that gave us Trump. To those who do, not having kids tends to inviolate your opinion.

First they came for the browns. Then they came for the poor. Sooner or later it will be the Muslims and non-believers.

I know just how fortunate I am to have bright, mature, developmentally sound children. It's a luxury I don't take for granted, & I'm thrilled that they're engaged. Mom won't be around forever, I tell them, someone has to keep it going.

Respect Father Martin, but still balk at Jesus’s - or any other religious prophet’s - laws being β€˜applied’ in this country. As the humanists say, one can be β€˜good without a God’. It shouldn’t take sacred texts to get elected officials to follow our founding text, the Constitution.

And they put their country dangerously close to our drones.
