Trump personally owes the Puerto Rican government millions of dollars, huh? Why am I not surprised? That man has skipped out on paying what he owes so many times during his life, if he were black instread of orange, he'd be behind bars. And to think he had the balls to chide them for "busting" his budget, when in fact that was gonna happen the second he gave corporations their Bush-era tax breaks back.

The thing about birth control is that whether it's covered or not is a pretty good sign of where gender equality stands in a society. Because, yeah, it prevents pregnancy but most women I know went on it and stayed on it for other health reasons first and foremost. And even if that weren't the case, the cognitive disonance of not covering birth control, while defunding Planned Parenthood, enforcing ever-greater restrictions on access to abortion and keeping the minimum wage at a standstill shows you how little women can actually do to fight for themselves in a society.

Can't afford birth control. Can't access abortion. Can't take off work anyway. Can't afford to support another child. But it's all her fault, isn't it? After all, she had sex by herself, didn't she?
