Wanted to take a moment and go over something Trump and his daughter came up with last week that was too quickly glossed over. Want to give y’all a point of view, something Trump came up with that has always bugged me.
First background: I have been married four times, once to my childhood sweetheart who I married when after three years he left me for another woman.
Hey, shit happens.
Then I married next husband, father of my daughter, and he died when I was but 30 years old.
I remarried once to a cop, my only marital mistake, and my last husband who I was with for 25 years and very happy with.
The point of the above for which no one cares is that there were TWO periods of singlehood, two periods of very young singlehood, in my life. They were from age 23 to 27, then from 30 to 35.
Again, point being for which no one cares, that’s almost 9 years of singlehood at a point when I was actively seeking a mate and sexually active.
Now I only even mention this to right now dispel any accusations that I was promiscuous or slutty. I was not. My relationships turned intimate after a couple of months or so, like most relationships in the day.
Hey, it’s part of dating....I didn’t plan it that way! But you’re talking nine years of dating and dealing with such as birth control.
Now I didn’t want to take birth control pills all the time particularly during those periods of time when I was NOT dating anyone.
It always pissed me off that should I begin to think this fellow might be around I have to go to a damn doctor to get birth control pills. Why couldn’t I (or even NOW, as Trump wants to change, CAN I) just boom, go to the drug store and pick up a month supply of the things?
So Trump, with help from Ivanka, mentioned the same thing and dear Lord talk about treating women like idiots.
First, why must a doctor be in charge of distributing these pills? Women know when a medicine isn’t working, it’s not like women are dropping dead from birth control pills all over the place.
Second, women are then forced to go to a greedy doctor (because I believe doctors aren’t give up this good source of income without a fight) to get a BC prescript because right now I like Bob and might need birth control.
Third, if they don’t go to the greedy doctor, they got to depend on the GUY to provide birth control. Let there be an accidental pregnancy and they’ll condemn the desperate choice of abortion.
Anyway, I been mad about this for years even though at my age now birth control is not as big an issue for me.
If Hillary really champions women, why doesn’t she get this thing straightened out?
I mean they give out day after pills without need of a prescription...I’m not asking for the pills for FREE!
I want women to stop being treated like second class on this matter and thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

They try to make it like George Bailey, working for the senile pharmacist, would wind up delivering the wrong killer pills to someone.
I was on Reddit where the Millenials are pissed about this Trump offer, because, dig this, they didn't want to have to pay for over-the-counter, whereas Obamacare prescription on birth control is "free"!
Anyway, I'm for it. And let any f'er pay for their OWN birth control!
