(87) being able to have sex when we want to. They are about
having affordable, accessible contraception. ----- being able to control

ones body.

Male contraceptives are on the way! ---- take the bullet out of the

people who havent lived their whole lives as women, whether Ms.

Jenner or Mr. Summers should NOT get to define us.

Women wake up after sex terrified if they forgot to take their birth
control pills the day before. The emergency contraception should not

be taken away.

problem.
Wage gap: 94% of domestic workers are women and they earn

23% less than min wage.
