Greetings All,
First want to apologize for the delay in producing this podcast.  I’ve been  busy - I’m getting married next week and needed time to digest the righteous vitriol spewing as result of the  overturn of Roe v Wade.

First the good news, me at closing in on 74 years old is marrying my junior and high school friend. I’ve been divorced since 1999 and never ever thought I would remarry.  For the first time in my life I feel safe, protected and loved.   I’ve enjoyed every minute of shopping for rings, dress, shoes, and sharing the good news. 

Now for the ugly, the overturn of Rape v Wade.  I wasn’t surprised.  I’ve lived long enough to watch and experience the benefits of Supreme Court rulings- Brown v Education and Civil Rights (voting and  the knocking down of State's Rights  a nice way of talking about the heinous Jim Crowism) and watch the slowing take away of our rights because somehow we folks got Uppity.  We failed to remain in  “our lanes” of being less then.  

But the overturn of Roe v Wade is more then just the rights to abortion - it’s about  mostly religious  groups who believe their God is better then ours, trying to impose  their beliefs, telling us how to raise our children, who we can love and marry on everyone else. 

They want to limit contraceptions,  politicians are arguing queuing up to say a 12 or 14 year girl who is raped or victimized by incest  must give birth to her baby, limit access to pregnant women with proven medical complications for her and the unborn child, they now have ethic panels  intervening at the most vulnerable point in parents lives if they must go forward with prefetch that jeopardizes roe life of the mother or force her to carry a child that medically proven the child will die soon after birth, as one woman described it she felt like a walking coffin as she carried her deceased in the womb unborn,  and now in some states the unborn has more rights then the mother, parents, and family it would be born into.

They are talking about ending same sex relationships and marriages.  
Let’s not forget about investigation parents of trans children and force removal of medical care

It is time, we who refuse to be controlled to stand up

The next 8 podcasts will talk about ways to stand up, 

Be safe
