MAGA: I fear for women’s rights

They came for the opposing political party.

I was not of that party and did nothing.

They came for Jews and Moslems.

I was a Christian and did nothing.

They came for the people of color.

I was white and did nothing.

They wanted to reduce public education.

I had no children and did nothing.

They came for the rights of women.

I did nothing as I was a man.

Then I began to see what was going on and I spoke out.

They came for me and there was no one to speak for me.

My heart is breaking because I think the bright experience of freedom, democracy and dignity in government of 200 years is gone with this election. I am an educated woman and have had the freedoms guaranteed to me by the Constitution for all of my 75 years to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I worry about health care for my four granddaughters and great-granddaughter. Will they become their husband’s chattel and lose their rights to be a free and independent American. I listened to the MAGA folks. I mean I really listened, and I see a loss of rights for women on the horizon. I am not an inferior American, I am an American citizen woman hear me roar!
