I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your presentation of the impact of PP in your earlier life, and THANK YOU for shining a light on the needs of later-in-life men and women.<br /><br />What I respect most, Paula, is that you’ve presented the need and laid out the way for almost everyone to become involved in a way that agrees with their natural style of standing up and making a difference.<br /><br />Great job, really.Thank you for coming here, and leaving that link.Susan Bonifanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889354888091500881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209129785647063879.post-25105829907315089612017-05-03T06:48:54.454-04:002017-05-03T06:48:54.454-04:00I have to take deep breaths after I read many of h...I have to take deep breaths after I read many of her comments, particularly around these discussions of Handmaid's Tale.

I, too, kicked myself for not knocking on one more door (or any doors to be honest), not joining a phone bank, not ........ possibly making more of a difference. I am glad to stand side by side with you in making a difference in our current environment. Planned Parenthood serves SO many, not just the "young women" we commonly think of - they provide STD testing to middle aged and elderly Americans that those people could not get elsewhere (you know, the awesome midlife people like us!). This is a post I had written about it. http://biggreenpen.com/2017/04/02/planned-parenthood-advocacy/ Paula Kigerhttp://www.biggreenpen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209129785647063879.post-88146476594644404012017-05-02T23:15:56.874-04:002017-05-02T23:15:56.874-04:00*sigh* I'm sympathetic, thinking back on my la...*sigh* I'm sympathetic, thinking back on my lackluster efforts on behalf of ole Bernie Sanders. What a situation. And time is passing sooo slowly. I read an interview where Margaret Atwood talks about "forced childbirth." That terminology really shook me. But it is accurate. And very sad.

But, I think there are enough republicans who realize he's insane as there are democrats, so I doubt much of what he says he wants will come to pass. He is certifiably insane and even his party is beginning to 'get' that. <br />My husband and I participated in the Women's March right after the inauguration and it felt so good! I hadn't done anything like that before, even tho I'm of the hippy generation. We have the phone #'s for our representatives and contact them often. I think that helps keep them on their toes.<br />And, I still pray for his impeachment, along with Pence's!<br />bBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788606865404200811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209129785647063879.post-60063394277602832702017-05-02T11:44:39.605-04:002017-05-02T11:44:39.605-04:00I love that.
