Rachel Davis commented on the blog post Northern Ireland’s first abortion clinic to open next week 7 months, 1 week ago · View
I agree, qob, that legislation can hopefully bring about change. I say hopefully because just look at the backlash that has been going on in the US by states trying to rebuke or limit Roe v. Wade. From the attacks on Planned Parenthood (who do so many other health/LGBTQ services for men and women beside [...]

That’s a good point. I doubt it because it wouldn’t directly be the Taliban’s doing. Only the Taliban’s methods to end lives; we’re the great liberator.

Rachel Davis commented on the blog post PA to execute man who killed his sexual abuser 8 months ago · View
