Whenever you receive an election ballot, remember the video above as a move toward something foreboding, and no little girl, or Woman in their childbearing years in America, should be forced to become a mom at all, or before they are ready.

Yes, we are vessels of life, but not mere vessels, and the fact that not every woman can then choose IVF, or those who don’t want to be forced into motherhood, should be a choice between the woman, her family, and the doctor. This government doesn’t seem to believe that Miscarriages and Abortions are part of healthcare that more often than not need intervention of some sort, which includes affordable, safe procedures. #SafeAbortions can and have saved lives! Their political party seems to talk one way, yet they vote against women far too often on the floor of Congress. When they are voting to give guns and the people who make, sell, and use them more rights, it makes you wonder about any Woman voting for this current admin … they might not have reproductive issues, but they probably know someone who has on some level. It’s about having CHOICE and possibly needing help that the other person involved opted out of, or a whole family needing to be helped with the reproductive issue. The fact is, no one who has compassion can forget that 10-year-old or any little girl or boy, who really doesn’t give consent to any sexual encounter… Women need to protect their rights, too. I don’t understand people, let alone government officials who believe Abortion should be illegal nationally, unless they have every intention to support each one until the age of 21? Just because you have sex doesn’t mean you’re a responsible person who has the means or wants to provide for a baby, and that opens up a whole new Pandora’s box of religious freedom, or in this era, the inevitable control by the government?

1864 – The Sand Creek Massacre occurred in Colorado when a militia, led by Colonel John Chivington, killed at least 400 peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians who had surrendered and had been given permission to camp.

The atrocities committed by the soldiers were initially praised, but then condemned as the circumstances of the massacre emerged. Chivington resigned from the military and aborted his budding political career. Black Kettle survived and continued his peace efforts. In 1865, his followers accepted a new reservation in Indian Territory.
