VOTE FOR MY UTERUS - ELECTION 2012

Election day is November 6th. My birthday is November 5th. I know you are wondering 'what is Leah's birthday wish' (and thanks so much for wondering about that, I really appreciate it). Well I'll tell ya what would make me happier than an ice cream cake party (and that is saying a lot) is if everyone goes out on November 6th and VOTES!

I was talking to a guy about the election this past week after a show. Specifically I was discussing my fears that a Romney/Ryan win would mean a huge step backwards for binders and binders of women. He basically said Well why should I care about that enough to vote?! And I totally get that. But I would hope that he cares enough because women are human-beings. The fact that people even get to vote about our bodies is ridiculous, let alone make choices for us. I think Chris Rock said it best: "I wouldn't want a bunch of women voting on my balls."

  

BUT on a purely heterosexual male, DICKCENTRIC level - he should care because the GOP promises that if elected they will cut funds to Planned Parenthood making birth control pills more expensive and difficult to get. So by all means, if you want to never have the opportunity to have unprotected sex in your relationship (after being tested of course) because "she is on the pill" then feel free not to vote. Enjoy condoms for the rest of your life.
