7. As expected. The thing is a political football until we get a solid majority in Congress

As it stands now, it only exists by Executive Order. Clinton came in -- no global gag order. Dubya came in, reinstated it on the first day. Obama repealed it. Trump puts it back.

I was so upset when Dubya did it I almost drove off the road. Now I understand the situation better -- women's lives are just a fcking political football.

So Democrats who stayed home in Obama's midterm election cycles and allowed the House to become what it is now can slap themselves upside the head for me.
