Contraception

[Nuffer]

I was 18 years old when I joined the the Air Force. The. “Pill” was only given to women over twenty one unless your doc prescribed it for cramps or acne. My Air Force doc wrote me a Prescription for my “cramps” and sent me on my way. He was very happy to do so.

I would say my doc at that time was pro- choice! Seems like old white men are still trying to keep us barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen…since old white men and one old black man along with 3 liars are trying to “Ozzie and Harriet” us back to the Stone Age.

I am now Seventy three, had two children by choice and my husband had a vasectomy so we would not have more children. Later we divorced and I had a tubal ligation to keep me from a surprise with my new partner. What I chose was no one’s business but my own.

I detest men and women who insist on making sure they get up close and personal in telling me What I can and cannot do with my body. You can bet your ass they would make sure their loved one would have an avenue to take care of that pesky little embryo that some how magically got implanted by mistake…

1. Isn't it funny how Repukes insist that we can't make them get vaccinated

Hell we can't even tell them to wear facemasks. But they believe they can tell us whether or not we should be a parent, regardless of circumstances.

2. Back in 1965

in Madison, WI, the pill was technically only legal for married women. There was one doctor in town (at least one) who would write a prescription for anyone. He was a middle aged GP, very pleasant. You picked up your pills at his office rather than the pharmacy. His rationale was that he'd rather write the prescriptions than clean up after a botched abortion. He also delivered babies and did whole-family care. He lived into his 90s and so did his partner, who was a good deal younger and died just last week.
