Women deserve better (Updated)

Women suffer and they die because their bodies are considered teh property of others. Sometimes a specific man, sometimes just society as a whole.

Women suffer and they die because they are not given the power over their own lives, treated as children who can't decide what's best for them or their families.

Women suffer and they die because people in power yield authority to religious ideology over rights of bodily autonomy and real world results.

Women suffer and some die because doctors' convenience outweighs how they would choose to give birth.

Women die. Because we're still fighting the people who put their religion, their misogynist "morality" above women's well-being.

This isn't an intellectual debate. It's not a disagreement between two reasonable positions. There is no fucking common ground. Women are dying.

ANd all Obama can give us is an equivocating statement that's nothing more than platitudes.

Women fucking deserve better.

UPDATE:
Apparently, I am not supposed to be so emotional about this. And making a gesture to the anti-choicers is more important than a gesture to the base of the Democratic party.
