Here's the problem with individuals and organizations that offer pixie dust and miracles and tell us that we can't make it without them because the world hates us and the cards are stacked against us and because they love us, they'll make sure we get some Cosmic Fairness that is impossible otherwise. And... after we surrender our autonomy and give ourselves to them... they will always "respect us in the morning."
The Democrats are not about women. They're about reproductive social policy. I require soooo much more out of life than free abortion and contraception. Progressives haven't had an original thought about women since Margaret Sanger died.
