If there's a law that needs repealing, it's Roe v. Wade, along with any other law that dictates what women should do with their bodies. It is not up to men to tell women how to manage something they can never truly understand. Whether a woman decides to keep her child should be made solely by that woman. Men have no say in this matter because they can never fully comprehend the biological and emotional experiences that women endure. When deciding to keep a child, half the population—men—should remain silent. Even the Supreme Court should refrain from intervening in this issue. The law should refrain from a woman's decision, as should men. This matter is ultimately up to women. Only women should decide! No men. Only women!

This October I have a birthday to celebrate I don’t often celebrate my birthday So, this change is a bit ludicrous   The point is I’m not going to celebrate it in the usual way This time I’m going to celebrate my birthday for an entire week Three days before the actual day  And, three days after the actual day   I will not be throwing a party Or doing something extravagant It’ll be something simple as usual Every day I will be something that makes me feel exceptional and significant Something as odd as blowing out a candle Or popping a balloon   So, every day for one week I want to walk around feeling gratification and contentment Almost how—I think--a peacock feels about its colors   It would be wonderful to celebrate my birthday for an entire month or an entire year But that would be too much And who would want to be a peacock for an entire year?  That would be weird.
