I made a date with my daughter when she is home for winter break... she's 23...

I am a proud momma when it comes to her - but she is part of the Me generation.

Together we are going to watch

With all this talk coming from the elected Teabaggers about rape & with all the pressure coming from the crazies, including from a man that could be President about overturning Roe V Wade -
this generation of young women need to know what it was like for women before abortion became legal.
They need to know how hard our sisters fought to give them the freedom to choose what is best for their bodies.

And they need to know to keep up the fight and to vote in every election like their uterus depends on it.


We can NEVER go back to those days and we must educate our daughters about what those days were like.
Or they will have no idea that they must keep up the fight for their daughters.

2. We must educate our daughters....and our sons!!!

Mine lives in Kansas right now so he is getting a big education every day. You are correct, we need to make sure that these young people understand how dangerous a backward slide would be!

Have fun on your date. : )

3. You are right about educating our sons - but do you think they would watch it?

It made my stomach turn - I guess I never met a guy that could sit thru that.

6. It's worth a try!

These men in politics are ruthless. We all need to understand what exactly is at stake!

7. I haven't seen that. I'll have to look for it.

Another one to consider is "Dirty Dancing" - it deals DIRECTLY with the issue of abortion. I've got a wife and three daughters and had two women from my past decide to get abortions (one without my knowledge beforehand). I take the matter very seriously. My eldest is 21 now, so we're in similar situations in the parenting department.

8. I am 32 - right on the cusp of your daughter's generation and gen X

I watched some clips of that movie on youtube... wow. Amazing conservatives want to go back to those days.
