"First, they came for women's health-care in Texas.
But, I didn't speak out. I didn't protest. Why should I? I don't live in Texas, therefore what they do in Texas doesn't affect me - not personally.
Then, they came for women's health care in Georgia.
But, I didn't speak out. I didn't protest. Why should I? I don't live in Georgia and what they do in Georgia doesn't affect me.
Then, they came for women's health care in South Dakota... in Indiana... in New Jersey...
And again, I simply did nothing, because I don't live in those states and nothing they do in them affects me.
And then, they came for women's health-care in Pennsylvania - where the (male) Governor (R) told the women of that state to: "Just close your eyes".

Despite my overwhelming desire to give the Gov. a (steel-toed boot) kick to the groin... I did nothing.
Why should I? I don't live in Pennsylvania. What they do in Pennsylvania doesn't affect me.
Then, they came for women's health-care in Louisiana.
And again, I did nothing. I don't live in Louisiana. So, whatever they're doing in Louisiana doesn't affect me.
In each of these instances, I took no action.
Sure, I may have thought, "Wow! That really sucks for the women who live there.".
Sure, I may have thought, "Wow! That really sucks for the women who live there.".
I definitely felt for them...
But, beyond that, I did nothing.
I kept telling myself that it simply wasn't my problem.
I told myself that (thankfully) I don't live in those states, so whatever back-a**wards things they were doing in them just didn't affect me - not personally.
Even now, their festering march continues...
Today... tomorrow... next week... next month...
They keep coming for women's health-care...
And now? I'm beginning to worry."
And now? I'm beginning to worry."
