You bet your ass women have not forgotten. I’m a 65 y.o. woman who remembers my high school days when the class a few years a head of mine had teenage marriage as a solution to unexpected pregnancies making everyone’s life miserable. Heaven forbid you have a child out of wed lock! The year I graduated (1976), my good friend became pregnant. She had a safe, legal abortion and went on to college and adult life. It’s all about the choice. I recall even more clearly, this was all the girl/woman’s fault. Boys/men were innocent in any of this even when they stepped up to responsibility, they were regarded as “trapped” by the pregnancy they caused. Who in the hell wants that nonsense back?
Thank you for all your emails. You are the only one giving me hope about the upcoming election. I voted early and it was so crowded I had trouble finding a parking spot. Yesterday, there was a picture in the local paper of traffic jams at the same polling place. So people are still getting out to vote in mass.
Thank God for your insight... it’s been a complete scam by the Southern Dixiecrats! Keep repeating a lie long and loud enough... OMG!!! Please keep up your work to inform!!!
I'm one of those pissed off women who fought for abortion rights in the 70's, and not happy about having to do it all over again. But I will, And I voted. And I have been working at an abortion clinic for the past 16 years, and believe me, there are A LOT of other pissed off women out there. No sir, women have certainly NOT forgotten. We never will! Next, the Equal Rights Amendment...we haven't forgotten that, either.
No way we have forgotten! Where does the press get this shit?
We remain and will remain outraged to have lost this basic human right over our bodies. It continues to be horrifying to every woman I know!
I voted early (THE very first day), and here in So Jersey, which is mostly Republican (think evil turncoat van drew), when I went to vote and reached for my ID they didn’t need it they said, only tho I only had to TELL them was my name and address. What??? That was totally shocking to me & my husband.
But the ballot ,conveniently it seems, had the democrat running for this district at the tippy top of the ballot at the top of the machine so it was difficult to read. I found it, but wondered , would others?
Damn right- we Dems are angry: our loss of rights, the galloping (no more inching) towards fascism, where is the Justice of the country we love!?
Thank you Michael for your continued sane assessment & for being the voice we Need!
I was one who had an illegitimate baby and put it up for adoption. My next two pregnancies I aborted myself. Thank God I didn't permanently damage myself. At 77 I don't really care too much for myself, but younger women have got to.
Thank you Michael. I have turned off all the political BS and pray your crystal ball is the real deal. I really appreciate your logical thinking when I scared shitless. I really love our democracy and would hate to lose it.
Greg Palast's movie is FREE online today (Nov.2). It is a documentary about voting rights, Georgia....
vigilantemovie.com A quick summary below. Donations appreciated, but not required. Greg is an investigative reporter that has been fighting the good fight for years.
It’s not a story of Democrat versus Republican, but history versus smothered truth.
We are working with Black Voters Matter Fund, NAACP Georgia and other frontline groups to fight the assault on voting rights.
Keep trying if you can't get in right away. I hope you can see it too, Mike.
Thank you, Michael. I wish polls would disappear. One week it's one way, next week it's the other way, for months on end. 2016 proved polls are useless. It's all about getting people to vote and making it easy and convenient for people to vote. So get out and vote and encourage others to do the same. I want to believe what you say, that sane people outnumber the crazy Magats, and sanity wins if we outvote the opposition. Keep on fighting, Michael!
I heard Bil Baird interviewed on the radio. He's around 90 now and brought three lawsuits to the Supreme Court that paved the way for Roe v Wade. One of those lawsuits involved him handing out contraceptives at a college rally.
What inspired him? He was witness to a woman with nine children come into a hospital, bloody from the waist down, with a hanger protruding out of her vagina. Yes, she died, leaving those nine orphaned children. We do not want to go back there!
Midterms are notorious for low turnouts of voters.
And I'm still waiting for the young people to put down their cellphones and VOTE.
I could not wait to vote, when I was 18, and have never missed an election.
If the young women who just got a literal shot in the gut aren't willing to fight the way their grandmothers did for the right to control their own bodies, everyone will lose all of their rights.
Folks, the choice this election is very clear. Do you want a party in power that promotes Hatred, Violence, Lying, & has No Plan to make things better or do you want a party in office that promotes Inclusion, Respect, Hardwork, & Has A Plan to improve the lives of all Americans? Please choose wisely. I did yesterday since we have early voting in NJ. I voted for Dems up and down the ballot! God bless you and keep you safe. Now go out and Vote Blue!

I know I am furious..and I am 71. I remember when abortion was illegal. Women died. I already voted.

Mike, we love and appreciate you. This morning’s tsunami on women’s power to create the outcome we need was the Truth. Go women! Go vote!

Dear Michael, I hope and pray that you are right.
Midterms are notorious for low turnouts of voters.
And I'm still waiting for the young people to put down their cellphones and VOTE.
I could not wait to vote, when I was 18, and have never missed an election.
If the young women who just got a literal shot in the gut aren't willing to fight the way their grandmothers did for the right to control their own bodies, everyone will lose all of their rights.
I hope that they know that.
Hope is a four letter word for me.
I hope that I am wrong.
Folks, the choice this election is very clear. Do you want a party in power that promotes Hatred, Violence, Lying, & has No Plan to make things better or do you want a party in office that promotes Inclusion, Respect, Hardwork, & Has A Plan to improve the lives of all Americans?

As usual, men aren't listening. Still we rise.
Thanks Michael…….. You are our voice.

ROEVEMBER is coming……..and the women and young people are PISSED!
