Women have choice..... They choose to have sex or not. That's the choice. No matter how you look At it you are ending a life and it its disgusting and evil. And that must be what you are full of if people trying to save the unborn offends you.....

[@mysteryandmeaning297]

Yes women have a choice in U.S to have abortions, don't know why your mad.? So many abortions in statistics in u.s rising though. Wouldn't hurt save a few. There is Long list for baby adoptions so they won't be unwanted. Foster kids come from messed up family situations that's on the parents..not the pro life persons fault. lack responsibility of parents. think these guys in front of clinics get too extreme though at times. But we're talking about a human being here too. Survivors of abortions all say they are so glad to have lived.. Let them advocate save a few, its not a bad thing, It selfish at times just want our view only and but you still have your right to choose and did. He is an advocate for human life and you advocate for veganism rights just let it be then.

It was indeed upsetting for you, but that didn't stop you from giving them a piece of your mind, you go. We need more people to stand up for what is right even if it causes them to be triggered, being triggered is a indicator that you care, you get it and you are not putting up with any of it.

I don't have a rig right now but my late husband and I would run a hose (desiginated for this use) thru a window and open the trap on the toilet and flush it with fresh water to clean it out. It's a handy trick if you have hook ups or are at a dump station with a water faucet. It really helped to clean everything out and stay fresher.

Next time ask them if they would agree to have a vasectomy, that normally steals their voice!

[@doloresreynolds8145]

I have asked men if they would tolerate being forced to have a vasectomy that took nine months to occur, and was depleting their body all the while risking their health. They usually don’t press the issue.

[@ftkinsella]

Had mine done years ago because I figured my wife had done her part and much more by having our two girls. Having said that I still disagree with abortion or killing of any kind.

[@doloresreynolds8145]

@@ftkinsella I believe that no one favors abortion. Everyone - especially women - are against the idea. It is when having a child is an even worse option (and there are cases where this is so, especially for the child), for whatever reason, that women must be allowed the freedom to assess their own circumstances and ability to provide for a child (emotionally, physically and financially), and sometimes conclude that they must end the pregnancy. It is always preferable to find and use a safe method of birth control, so that said situation does not happen. However, even the best planned birth control fails sometimes. (Many women on ‘the pill’ forget or were never told that antibiotics nullify the pill’s protection from pregnancy, and that you still won’t be ‘safe’ until a couple of weeks after ending the round of antibiotics. I have known a number of women who have had this happen.)

[@carolynlasher8896]

@@ftkinsella Exactly! It's the women that have the children, it takes a toll on the body long after the birth, then men want your body to be perfect again. Most of the time women do the largest part of caring for them, keeping up with the house, shopping, cooking, daycare and working. Doesn't sound 50/50 to me. So it should be the womens choice on having a baby, especially if you don't want all the risk of taking birth control!! If you eat meat you are eating something that was slaughtered. Do you also believe there should not be a death penalty for the most horrific crimes? BTW thanks for braving a vasectomy. 😊

[@jimhike6620]

@@carolynlasher8896 women have been spewing this crap about the lions share of the work around the house for years. You manage a carrier, the kids the house. Come on men have been doing that for ever. Men work more hours normally do the heavy work in the yard when it's hot or cold or snowing or raining. Most men help in the house as well.. while almost all the appliances are automatic these days anyone with very little effort can do laundry. Or dishes. Meals are pre maid now days not many people cook from scratch. You turn a dial and the stove oven heats up most meals are made in 30 min or less or pop in the oven and forget it for 1 hour or less. I'm not saying ban abortion I'm saying make it a decision and financial burden on the couple that made the baby. Don't use our tax dollars for your elective surgery. And abstinence is free and 100% effective Carolyn. Also plenty of mothers get back in shape shortly after they have the baby. It's not impossible it's just not a priority. It's not a priority for men or women weather they have a kid or not. And you can choose to never have a baby. There are plenty of men that don't want children you can get with. Men aren't the enemy in this battle just have a different opinion. Honor the man's rights it's his child as well. Also the babies right to life. Also a man getting a vasectomy doesn't insure his wife will not get pregnant. Her ability to honor her commitment determines that. And with 80% of devorce filed by a woman doesn't sound like many women can't honor a commitment.

It took me awhile to watch this. Kind of afraid of what you'd see. But I know it all anyway, having lived in Fargo a couple of years. 🙄. I try to put blinders on - with the billboards and hate signs. And I belong to an online progressive group. Hopefully now that Covid is letting up, we will have live meetings. Bless your heart for trying to talk to the protestors. Any anti-protesting is not wasted. There are volunteer escorts to enter the women's center. Mostly I spend my time and get my joy from my daughter and grandsons. I work remotely from home, so I am insulated and choose isolation at times, frankly. There is a large Somalian refugee population, surprisingly, and there are community gardens all over the city - I joined one The first summer I was here, and it was great getting to know the people. About half of the gardeners were Somalian. Such joyful and gentle people. I wish I'd seen you while you were here! Oh, and Minnesota is pretty great after you drive past the barns and driveways with the huge "T...." signs. I still don't get it. Most of the people I've run into here are friendly, or at least polite. Anyway, thanks for reminding me I got to get out of here! My grandsons are in fifth grade next year, and she and her husband don't want the boys to go to junior high and beyond in this atmosphere - the guns and football and tough guy culture. So, that's when I'll make my escape, too! I am trying to decide between a van and a small rv right now.

[@Carol-qi6me]

You know me Carolyn you’re certainly preaching to the choir here. One of my first jobs was working for women’s clinic I started off as security and work my way up to a healthcare worker providing services of all kinds and assisting doctors. In the early 1970s in San Diego we had women coming from all over the United States. The thing of it is it’s more than just a right not to have a child, it’s our right not to have to carry through with a pregnancy. Its our right to freely enjoy sex and sexuality without feeling as though the act of getting pregnant is somehow a punishment or consequences. Men have never had to endure the feeling of unwanted pregnancy and had to face the choice or no choice! What those protesters do , and I have been assaulted verbally abused threatened in my home and bomb threats at my daughters daycare …is legalized harassment and it shouldn’t be. The fact that you’re triggered as of no surprise to me I was triggered along with you as I watched it. And you’re right those that I’ve tried to talk to you and reason with are not reasonable because they’re standing on principles that are not even founded in fact.

Yes Carol I know we've had a few discussions about this. I'm just so sickened that we're still having to defend this right in 2021. And I think the political and social climate is keeping me hyper sensitive to women's rights issues. AND it seems harassment and bullying of women is getting worse too. It's a scary time for us all. Hugs to you my friend

[@joansidor5191]

I really like your videos. 2 ,000 infants die every day because of lack of water and basic medicines. Solve THAT problem. Thank you Carolyn. Joan

I lived in Fargo for 7 years. My son still has family between there and Bismark. Add Edit. To add to my comment. I was adopted and while I was living in Fargo I was part of an adoptees rights organization that helped in adoption searches, and held meetings at my home. Some of the most damaged people I've met are birth parents (both sexes), and adopted children. Add Edit. They never harass the fathers.

I grew up in Iowa and have lived on Van. Isl.,BC, Canada, for 50 years. I don’t miss that flat land of No. Dakota or Iowa, one bit!🦌💌🚙 Give me forest and trees!

Hi from Sooke 👋 Small world, lol 🚙🇨🇦

[@texcinlulu]

Thanks for having the ovaries to stand up to those anti rights activists ! Why is that OK for a woman to be harassed by them? Why aren’t the police there to protect women since that’s the only one in the state? It’s infuriating! I enjoyed seeing Sadie girl in the meadow. She is such a joy🐾 Ready to start my RV adventures soon. See you down the road🌞🦋❤️

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Exactly! Such a double standard...Congrats on your RV Life and safe travels to you!

Thanks for the video, very helpful! 💯⛺️👍🏼 LOVING ❤️our full-time RV Life!

Like your Journey story. Need more of that stuff from your youth.. Makes you even more human! Lol.. Love your channel, girl!.

You rock!!!! If I lived there my blood pressure would explode!!! You’ve said exactly what I have said for years!!!!

[@thebandplayedon..6145]

Here, the "weight watchers" outlet is in a mini mall with three businesses....it's tucked between an Arby's and a KFC. I mean, I don't go to any of those places, seems unnecessarily passive aggressive a tad, no? ...but what the decision making process was on that location would be interesting to know.

I used to see maternity stores next to Victoria's Secret & it cracked me up.

Fargo has a great City Park with RV area, Lindenwood. Beautiful, one area of campground is right on the river, the other is crowded but near the shower, etc. Very reasonable and 6 blocks from downtown.

[@dallasdaniel8809]

Carolyn - please spend some time in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Follow the Lake Superior shoreline as much as you can. Be sure to see Lake of the Clouds in the porcupine mountains, the beautiful boat ride in Munising to see the cliffs, In Newberry see Oswald’s Bear Farm where he raises bears the DNR brings him as rescues. Then Tahquamenon Falls, on to Paradise to the Whitefish Point Light House and ship wreck museum, the Indian Cemetary sat the top of the hill in Brimley, then to Soo Locks in Sault Ste Marie. If you go into the lower peninsula, be sure to visit Mackinaw Island at the Mackinaw Bridge. You will truly enjoy this area. It is wonderful and I’d love to have you see it.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks for watching and thank you for the suggestions!

Loved the "wood chipper" reference. ;0) One of my favorite movies. Great channel and I like the way you think, hermana. Glad I discovered your channel.

[@AuntBecsCreations]

I spent my tween and teen years wishing for death or wishing to have been adopted by someone that really wanted me in tgeir lives... So I GET YA

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'm sorry you had to experience this as well. No one should be made to feel that way...it's just wrong.

[@DuvAngel1]

@@CarolynsRVLife It’s wrong to kill a life that was started. It has been scientifically, proven that there is a spark of life at the time of conception, and this is not some thing that a man or a woman can do. If abortion was legal When I was conceived, I’m pretty sure my mother would’ve had an abortion. I pretty much do feel like an incomplete abortion. The truth is that life is supposed to be precious. Isn’t your life precious? Why is somebody else’s life less precious than yours?

[@Here_kitty_kitty1-wg9xd]

I’m so sorry for your pain. I hope life is easier for you now. Adoption isn’t always for everyone, the child usually suffers greatly.

[@Here_kitty_kitty1-wg9xd]

Duv…get a job. No one is listening to your god rant on this channel. I’d say 99.99% of Carolyn’s followers are critical thinkers. You are better to be feeding and clothing the hungry and the homeless…but then that might be uncomfortable for you.

Aw, I wish you could have videoed what you said to the abortion protesters! I would have loved to have heard that! Safe travels from your Sassy Sisters!

[@d.kennedy7627]

Reminds me of driving through some of the south and seeing billboards talking about Jesus Christ and religion only to be quite quickly followed up by another billboard declaring the best naked girls dancing at a particular club. There is barely time to take a breath in between them. Are these people very confused or what?

[@cathleengross3474]

I despise billboards and wish they would just ban them. They are also ugly and distracting while you are driving, The South is in the Bible Belt hence the religious signs.

[@robertsitch1415]

I am glad that Canada has way fewer of them.

[@pouledu6270]

... Abortions are legal in Israel, and may be approved upon request. Last year, 97% of the 22,000 request for induced abortions in Israel were granted. Last year Conservative Congressmen and women gave $3,800,000,000.00 in US taxpayer funds to Israel in foreign aid. I have never seen folks standing on street corners protesting about this. Just say’n.

Thank you Carolyn. Powerful message today. Good question to these bullies- why aren't you helping them instead of oppressing? Unreal. I'll never move to ND for sure. One clinic wow.

[@johnswof]

There's more than one western and/or southern state where women's health is ignored and totally underserved. They are the same states that use the most Viagra per capita.

Hi everyone 👋 awesome video Carolyn love your passion! Sadie is so precious the star 🌟 of the show 😀

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Mary and thanks for watching!

[@fredash9300]

What sort of employment do people have that allow them the time off to protest women's clinics? Or anything else for that matter. I'm pushing 70 years old and still work a full-time job. When I'm off work I'm tired. Protesting doesn't recharge me. Carolyn ran into energy preditors.

[@fredash9300]

Wow. D. Lenaghen, that's exactly what I mean. How can you live when you're so politically obsessed? I served in the military under the Reagan Administration in retrospect it was bad. Rather counter to American values. At the time none of my squad really noticed. We did our jobs and that's it. Mine was fixing $30 million aircraft. And indeed I was paid by tax dollars. So I suppose my military service was government "welfare". Don't work up spittal for my taxpayer exploitation, I risked my ass every night on a flight deck and become a little testy when anyone's military service gets disrespected by comparing it to some disgruntled sidewalk Taliban. If you're saying people who protest women's health clinics are on some sort of government assistance which allows them not to have to "work" and leaves them the free time, well that figures. My check from Uncle Sam didn't motivate me to protest. Maybe those people who have that option could discover some inner creativity and put their time to better, more productive use.

We have many, many similar experiences. I met Steve Perry (and Arnel Pineda (who you met)), Steven Tyler, Bruce Springsteen, Geddy Lee, Ann & Nancy Wilson, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood and so many more. I barely remember Steven Tyler because it was 1978 and we were both high. Lol. I had many, many good times before my opiate addiction got REAL bad. I’m clean now for 28 years but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t fun for a long time. I’d love to meet you someday. We have many other things and views in common and would have great and funny conversations. Love your channel so much!

Watching you drive down a Dakota road I flashed on Cary Grant in the airplane scene in North By Northwest.

[@Ralph-cc9xy]

My generation fought for the right for women to have safe abortions. I can't believe that we are so very close to losing all safe places for women to have abortions. No one I know who was faced with having to make this decision ever took it lightly. Your argument that these right to lifers never have an answer for what about the children who are not wanted and then abused and tortured to death. They never have a solution to the problems of child abuse and I don't see any of them stepping up to take unwanted children in. My blood boils every time I see these right to lifers picketing. I applaud you for wading into them I just wish you had filmed some of that. Good for you for speaking up!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you and thank you for being supportive!

Awesome Carolyn, wow you really struck a chord with me. We All NEED to hit them back with knowledge and information. These protesters Need information about where and how to Foster and Adopt these half a million unwanted children. Is a much better use of their energies. Thank you for the Spark :D

[@marlenejensen8881]

Thank you for your outrage. My Dad was raised in a religious home as a child and was ‘unwanted’. He knew it, felt it, lived with it. How sad to be born to a family that didn’t want you. I was lucky to be his daughter because he raised me to be strong, open minded, kind and understanding of others. Pro choice is our right….anything less is not to be tolerated.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Marlene.. awww. your dad :-( It sounds like he did a wonderful job raising you ! Way to go!

[@marylout5193]

Uh oh, did I miss your visit to Michigan? It's Monday, August 23rd today. Are you having a meet and greet anywhere near Ann Arbor? Last I recall, I thought you were heading towards the upper peninsula, which would be hard to schedule time for. We have an awesome park called the Arboretum, that has trails and hills that I think you'd like. We also have a dog park close to me. Hopefully I didn't miss a closer meetup visit.

Those rest areas off interstate 94 near Fargo and most of MN have bathroons and sodapop machines and snack machines. When people want full meals and other items they will take an exit into a town. These rest areas are great for a quick bathroom break and snack......especially nice for a semi to take a quick break when that's all they need rather than drive their semi into a town which takes much more time and fuel

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks for watching Bernice! I know rest areas are needed, but sad to think people will miss out on a nice town and a little piece of history.
