Way to mis-educate America about Emergency contraception! It was a golden opportunity to teach millions of Americans and it was poorly mishandled by the writers and so sensationalized - it made me sick!<br /><br />I walked around for days grumbling about it until my husband, took my hand and told me that if hordes of zombies ever walked the earth, we'd find a way to have an abortion. LOL, he knew just what to say to his sci-fi, survivalist, nerd lady who was PMSing. <br /><br />Okay I'm done ranting about a TV show nobody else probably watches. Btw, this was a great post and link!Oublihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05042028863215882055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-71822622902547800032012-04-27T22:29:00.526-04:002012-04-27T22:29:00.526-04:00Awww...thanks so much for your kind words!
