“I'd already have had it vacuumed out of me if women weren't playthings in this shitty political era that we've been forced into where our rights are being taken away and classified as options- or rather non-options, in this case.”
― Your Body, My Choice: Killstreme: Harlow
― Your Body, My Choice: Killstreme: Harlow
“It is the pinnacle of arrogance to assume that whatever it is that “the experts” believe now is in fact the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Scientists have believed and public health officials have promoted many wrong things over the years, for both honorable, and not so honorable reasons. Sometimes the public health message is dead wrong.”
