So, there's a nurse in Albuquerque. She's been pulling out IUD devices without permission, because she thinks they're basically little abortions.

How is this not assault? Where did this woman get the right to decide how other women should manage their bodies? How is this ethical? She needs to lose her license!

Here's the thing: this woman is being unethical, and she's putting women at risk. And she's doing so, because for the last 8 years, we've had an administration telling us that it's ok to legislate religion. It's not ok. A woman has a right to privacy, and that privacy is what allows for abortion. That administration doesn't truly believe that women are people, or that people have a right to decide for themselves, or have privacy, which is absolutely against the tenets of Republicanism. Don't believe me? How many people got their phone records looked at or wiretapped without warrants?

Religion should not be legislated. Period. If it becomes legislated, we are no longer a democratic Republic, we are a theocracy. If you think that your religion gives you the right to tell me what to do with my body, then I recommend you look at the Taliban, and what they do to women. Then remember that their religion told them to do it.

I have another paragraph in me, but as it's mostly profanity, I shall save it for another time.
