This Month's Rant....

The time seems to fly by and then it's time for another column. Each month that passes
takes my breath away with negative articles in the paper, mean spirited talk show hosts and the worst legislation that could possibly happen. This is all directed at women. What have we done to deserve this type of treatment? Is it too much to ask for the right of choice in family planning and making personal medical decisions?. Why do men feel threatened and what power do they feel they will lose? And then there is religion and the absolute interference between women, religion and government. There should be absolutely no place for religion in our government. It does not belong there. PERIOD. We are too diverse a country to have A religion make decisions for all religious and non-religious persons. As an example, shouldn't the Church prescribe three Viagra pills per male per month, with no exceptions?

Shouldn't the Catholic Bishops be willing to interfere in the sex life of men as they do it so easily with women? They could package one Viagra with one morning after pill and sell it as a combo package. Now, that's what I call fair play. All nonsense aside, it is time for the male members of our community to join the fight. This is not for women alone. We need our male partners, husbands and friends to stand alongside us and join with us for the right to make our own personal decisions without the intrusion of government or religion. MEN, we need you NOW.

For equality,

Doris
