G+: Terrifying Times For Women

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, some states poised to make abortion a crime. Very glad for menopause. I'd hate to be young, unmarried, and without health care. We MUST FIGHT FOR WOMEN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

Legalized abortion faces its greatest threat in decades, people on both sides of the issue say, and that includes the possibility that Roe v. Wade will be overturned.

G+: Air Travel May Be Even Worse In Trump'Merica, according to The Guardian

"Airlines become more unbearable every year, and every year, people like me write fist-shaking essays about the madness of it all.
