Walk a Mile In Someone Else’s Shoes

This is inspired by a Twitter conversation:

• Remember that just because you have access to public transportation, not everyone does.
  Also remember that there are actually governors and legislators trying to BLOCK funding for better public transportation.
  The Midwest, for the most part, is big cities surrounded by little cities. That means just because “in town” has a bus service, most areas around doesn’t.
  
• Healthcare isn’t available to everyone.
  From the time I was 20 until 3 years ago, I didn’t have healthcare, minus the times I was pregnant and 6weeks and 3months after.
  Even now that I do have healthcare, I’m leery of using it, because I know how much my out-of-pocket is. When I fucked up my ankle, I didn’t go, and while I regret that I have a hell of a lot of pain STILL, 18 months later, I don’t regret NOT going.
  
• Cutting funding to Planned Parenthood isn’t stopping abortions.
  It’s cutting funding to cervical cancer screens, STD screens, and more!
  I used a form of Planned Parenthood when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was able to see a midwife and everything.
  When I got my confirmation, abortion was mentioned ONCE, and only if I’d thought about it. NOT considered it. I said “Yes, but we can’t".
  Yes, I am admitting that I thought of abortion with my daughter. It was literally a 5-minute thought. To this day, I’m SO thankful that I found out TOO late (20 weeks) to full consider. My daughter is my biggest blessing.
  
• Those that use Planned Parenthood ARE NOT whores just getting knocked up.
  My cousin had a child at 16. She had a form of an IUD/ovary/fallopian tube blockage device done. It failed. She did what she COULD to not get pregnant, minus abstinence, because abstinence in a committed relationship is just BULLSHIT.
  Those who claim that are just pissy people who need to get laid, seriously.
  Sorry, but that’s how I feel.
  
• Getting a new car is not always possible.
  Along those same lines, not all cars can do the biodiesel/other gas stuff.
  Also … have you LOOKED at the prices of new and/or used cars? A used hybrid is nearly the same as a NEW non-hybrid. Oh no, I’m NOT kidding!
  
• MOVE.
  Really? Have you not been listening?

So, this is how I feel! I’m willing to debate, but DO NOT throw morality or religion at me.
NONE of what I’ve said has a DAMN thing to do with morals or religion.
You want to say committed relationships go against god? Guess what!?!
My committed relationship? In the eyes of the state and federal government?
I’m fucking married, so I’m having MARRIED PEOPLE SEX! Deal with it!
