87% of the counties in the United Fucking States of America lack an abortion provider.

87%

I just...

I give up.

Obviously, the religious extremists in this country have won and I should just accept my fate as a broodmare.

Neigh.

Oh, and I happen to live in one of the 13% of counties that actually has an abortion provider.  That doesn't make me feel anything but numb.

87%

Fuck me sideways.

Today is World AIDS Awareness Day.  Here are some links to those whose posts on the subject said everything I could ever wish to say.

sparkindarkness voices rage at those who gloat over those who die from AIDS and ignore those who have to live with it.

eumelia reminds me of what it was like to grow up in the 80's with AIDS as a 'gay disease'.  I think I first heard of it on "Life Goes On", myself.

rm reminds all of us of the privilege of those who still ignore this epidemic or act as though this issue is dead or solved. 

Signal boost this if you can, please.
