Back in 2007, I applied for a route truck driver job I saw on Craigslist for a "medical waste recycler". Had to be an easy job, right? Pick up dirty needles at clinics, that sort of thing. I was called for an interview. The first thing the interviewer said was, "We have an account with Planned Parenthood...." and paused to let that sink in. That was a gut punch I wasn't prepared for. That was 18 years ago, and I remember it like it was yesterday.

"paused to let that sink in" (insert skull emoji here)

It is well marched, Andy. One day a young woman will know that chemical sterility and surgical matricide are not "choices", and are not "medical". It will finally become obvious to some young woman somewhere. Because you marched.
