Independence Day has lost its appeal. It’s supposed to be a day where we celebrate our freedoms and liberties we have.

Rapists rights (abortion bans), contraceptive restrictions, and gay marriage bans are going to come roaring to fruition (and some have already) if we don’t put a stop to this right-wing garbage agenda.
