excellent piece! martha is spot on with her writing. the stance that many ultra-rights are taking is absolutely ridiculous. i cannot believe that at this time in our existence, we're still having to fight for the right to control our bodies!!
my two grandmothers had 21 children. one had 14, the other 7. not sure if they had any other pregnancies to go along with those kids. i can't imagine having that many kids, or that at my age i could still be having them-but knowing my family, it's entirely conceivable. how different our lives would be if tony and i had had a huge family. i have no doubt that many others could say the same. i am so glad that we could control that-it's something we take for granted, and it's an ability many aren't able to have. i am amazed that there are those who would take that away if they could.
