Stop Play Politics With Women's Bodies
 

I am a mother and I love my son more than anything in this world. That does not mean that I do not believe in a woman's right to choose what to do with her body. You are playing politics and yet you cannot imagine what it is like to carry a child in your body. That is something no woman should be forced to do should she choose not to. 

Women are not cattle. We are human beings and mandating what we can and cannot do with our bodies is absolutely ridiculous. Why should we be treated like second class citizens? Providing preventative measures like birth controls should be a given in today's society. The fact that these issues are even being questioned is sad.

Put your politics and religious beliefs aside. You should be protecting our rights, not injecting more and more government regulation into them.
