Merry Death

This will be quick

Last night, I was watching the nightly local news when they announced that William Rehnquist died. My heart sank, I began to tear up, I was deflated.

There isn't much to say, since this is all speculation and out of my control. But I have to say a few things:

I am terrified that my child will be stripped of her future rights as a woman when the President nominates a conservative, Christian judge.

I am terrified that women everywhere will lose their rights as a human being when some man decides whether or not she can decide the outcome of a pregnancy.

I am sickened at the fact that Christianity is looming on the horizon, waiting to re-infiltrate my schools, government and life in general. What will I do then? I don't want Vivienne to go to a school that teaches her that life created when an imaginary 'thing' waved his arms and "POOF!" the earth was made. Your book of stories is a nice one. Your fables and morals do make sense. But I don't believe them. They do not govern my life or my mind. KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ME AND MY FAMILY. I don't care what you believe, so leave my alone.
