Dear Senators Davis and Van de Putte, and Representative Farrar,

It was with consternation that I read of Senator Edward Lucio's proposed bill that would mandate pregnant women to undergo adoption counseling before being permitted to get an abortion.

As a Texas woman, as a woman who was impregnated in 1968 via rape, who was then forced to endure an adoption I did not want, I have many concerns about this.

If you can't be in Austin for tonight's Stand With Texas Women rally, but you'd like to be heard, there is now a way for that to happen

Follow me below the orange lover's knot to see how.

Don't tell me about Benghazi until you deal with the fact that there were no wmd in Iraq. Don't tell me about it until you deal with all the dead Iraquis, all the dead Americans , and all the maimed Americans that resulted from Bush's war of choice. Don't tell me about Benghazi until you deal with the smoking ruins of the American economy that happened on your watch. First help all the people here who can not get jobs because of your failed policies and your pandering to your rich contributors.

atlas shrugged is 55 years old. perhaps it made sense to celebrate the captains of industry back in the 50s, as the country rebuilt after the war. great steel plants, auto manufacturing, railroads.

but, we are not in the 50s anymore. to hear the wealthiest among us tell it, we have moved to a post industrial economy. in the united states, they tell us, our contribution is mainly financial services.

in such an economy, ayn rand's philosophy gets it exactly backwards.

Slut. Prostitute. So much sex she can't afford the birth control. Boyfriends around the block. Aspirin between the knees. Now, add this in... single motherhood as child abuse in Wisconsin.

Is it 1968 again?

To be very honest with you, I've been a little surprised by the fact that the talking heads on MSNBC who are younger than I have never heard that smarmy old aspirin "joke" before. When I was in my 20s, such smarmy jokes were the norm. That sort of insulting, patronizing, off color, sleazy remark stems directly from an insulting, patronizing, off color, sleazy attitude towards women.

That attitude was the prevailing attitude up until Roe v Wade and the women's rights project. Women my age worked very hard to erase that blighted attitude from society. We were so successful that women one generation younger never even knew it existed.

in the coming weeks and months, you can expect to hear people pushing the idea of 'adoption" as some sort of solution to this birth control monstrosity.

don't be fooled.

the people selling adoption are the same people who want to take away your birth control.

it's shock doctrine.... this time in your womb.
