Just because.
Just because I sometimes despair when listening to the dialogue coming out of America.
Just because I am so grateful I am Canadian and this kind of blog post wouldn’t be written by a Canadian living in Canada because WE DON’T NEED TO HAVE THIS DIALOGUE.

After the extremely maddening, unjust, horrific shooting that took place at Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs on Friday, I think now is an especially important time for me and others to show their support for Planned Parenthood. I’ve always supported it and always will, as long as it continues to be what it has been and is—a safe, accessible place for everyone, regardless of gender, to receive affordable and necessary healthcare.

OMG, thank you so much for sharing this! I have spent quite a bit of time in the Southern US where the number of very conservative Christians who think that abortion is murder and contraception is the devil is present in alarmingly high numbers and it scares the Hell out of me.

She was right and I was a sinner and wrong and going straight to Hell if I did not leave my wrong-minded, Catholic beliefs.
