Instead of women attacking women for the choices we make it’s time to band together to have each other’s backs.
We each of us have the power to make things better for ourselves and others.
Regardless of which guy with a red tie is elected into office.
Just the facts:
Abortions are illegal in America after 3 months.
There’s no killing of babies at 7 or 8 months.
Only in rare cases of risk to the life of the mother is an abortion allowed after 3 months.
The truth is that Planned Parenthood offers mammograms, PAP smears, STD testing, and prenatal visits as well as routine gynecological exams.
Women living in poverty often don’t have access to these kinds of services as well as birth control except through Planned Parenthood.
Want to know some other facts?
A lot of the homeless are women with children who’ve had to escape domestic violence.
A lot of women diagnosed with schizophrenia who give birth to their kid are abandoned by the baby’s father when their symptoms get too severe for the boyfriend’s liking.
There is no more welfare that makes it easy for women to have four or five kids and collect government benefits.
Welfare has been replaced with Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF):
About TANF
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program is designed to help needy families achieve self-sufficiency. States receive block grants to design and operate programs that accomplish one of the purposes of the TANF program.
The four purposes of the TANF program are to:
- Provide assistance to needy families so that children can be cared for in their own homes
- Reduce the dependency of needy parents by promoting job preparation, work and marriage
- Prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies
- Encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families

Remember: the word is temporary not permanent.
Those convicted of a drug felony are not able to receive TANF benefits by the way.
From Wikipedia:
President Bill Clinton signed PRWORA into law on August 22, 1996, fulfilling his 1992 campaign promise to “end welfare as we have come to know it”. PRWORA instituted Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which became effective July 1, 1997.
It seems a lot of Americans might not know anything about political history or legislative history.
I call what’s going on in Washington a Democrap and Republicon fight to control the minds of Americans to get us to vote for their party.
Only I’m no fan of either party.
In the coming blog entry I’m going to talk about how “People Have the Power.”
This is the title of my favorite Patti Smith song.
