If you’re not standing up for women, you’re letting down American democracy.

This is for the guys. We need to make a stand.

Dude, we can’t let the government tell our daughters, wives, sisters, and girlfriends they must have kids they don’t want.

If you have strong religious convictions or hate women and/or liberals, this isn’t for you.

To me, a line has been crossed.

I believe women have the right to control their bodies. Most Americans also support abortion, which means the government is not acting on behalf of the people.

No one is coming for religion. Vaccines are optional. Gun rights are safe and sound. Women are not.

The United States government can only control our bodies if it is actually a form of religion. It’s playing god. I hope you can’t stand for that either.

It’s tempting to talk about religion and the other rights we grant to people, but really, this comes down to how bad we really want to enjoy the freedoms of a democracy.

The government is saying women must have children if they get pregnant, and that it is coming for birth control. That means condoms too.

We are fighting for the joy of sex. There will be no more spontaneity. Sex will be planned, analyzed, debated and risky.

We are fighting because we believe it is better to abort a potential life than allow an actual one to be born and live without love, but with poverty, probably for life.

We are fighting because our government is attacking democracy and freedom. Rights are for all people.

When a minority of people can make a law that says women can’t control their bodies when most Americans disagree with them, we don’t live in a democracy.

We all have to man up, maybe suck it up, if we REALLY hate liberals.

Walk your talk about rights. Defend our daughters’, wives’, girlfriends’ — all women’s — right to control their own bodies. Vote against any politician who attacked that right.

Otherwise, shut the fuck up about how government is taking our freedom and democracy because you are helping them.
