It’s Mother’s Day…time for all who have mothers to be guilted into buying florid, ornate greeting cards, wildly overpriced flowers, or jewelry chain store bling, so as to check off that box.
A time for some politicians, in a transparent act of pandering, to wax rhapsodic about the importance of mothers while enacting legislation that limits reproductive choice, gutting critical educational programs and funding, lifting regulations intended to address the impact of climate change, repealing the ACA, all while enabling children to be gunned down in school day after day after day.
If you care about mothers, support their right to make family planning decisions free from the threat of criminal liability.
If you care about mothers, make sure their children have access to quality education.
If you care about mothers, work to guarantee that their children will have a healthy planet on which to live.
If you care about mothers, insist that they can assure their child’s good health by demanding affordable health care.
Finally, if you care about mothers, scream at the top of your voice for sensible gun control, so that those mothers don’t end up burying their children.
Or you can just buy a card and call it a day.
