        Her name is Nuris Bigelow and she’s 33 years old. She had her rights restored this year after completing her criminal sentence.

        This video has been viewed by almost as many people as voters in Alabama yesterday. Imagine if we all channeled Nuris’ emotion and realized that “one more makes a difference."

        Do you realize the trade you are willing to make for the hope of outlawing abortion? You are willing to trade the welfare of your fellow citizens, some who will die when health care is reformed. For what? The rate of abortion does not go down in countries that ban it. Think!

        "Pro Choice" is NOT PRO ABORTION- it is a "logical construct" is that a woman should have control over what she does to her body!!!! Pedophilia is not a "logical construct" in my mind nor is racism,sexism, homophobia or xenophobiapic.twitter.com/P6N6uzvO7J

        back when i was a kid (imagine grandpa simpson gif here), boxes of choc didn't come with cheat sheets, including schematics of the box layout. u had to take yr chances of biting into some weird ass flavor/texture & hope yr grandparents didn't see u drop it into the ficus.
