A Week in My RV Life and I'm Triggered in Fargo!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I channeled my frustration by making a donation to the Red River Women's Clinic. Here's a link if you'd like to make a donation to ensure women in North Dakota have choices: www.redriverwomensclinic.com/donate

[@Tika10210]

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.

[@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.

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.

These women should not be harassed. These women should be loved and cared for. Here's my story. My biological grandmother was raped and became pregnant with my mother. Yes rape is a tragic violent act. She still loved her baby but knew she couldn't care for this unplanned child. So she made the difficult decision to give my mother up for adoption. My grandparents were an infertile couple who were delighted to adopt my mother. My mother now has 4 children, 13 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. That makes 19 of us who are alive today because of one unplanned pregnancy. I am glad to be in existence . I know many people who would adopt an unplanned child in a heart beat. Adopt is a wonderful option. I think adoption is an underutilized choice.

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. Loved every part of this video stay safe 💞✌🏽

I had to read every comment and like those supporting your outrage, Carolyn. I see the same group of people, mostly men, outside our local Planned Parenthood every week. Because they often park at the grocery store a block away, I've had the opportunity to engage in a more neutral location. I've asked, "Wow, I see you're Pro Life. Where's the next anti-war, anti-military meet up?" When they explain it's not the same, I tell them that by their logic, murder is murder when someone else makes a decision that may result in a death. Isn't that what the military does? They stare at me open mouthed and I drive away, smiling and saying "Have a nice day, chewing on your hypocrisy!"

But I think the people who stand outside and harass need to be made to recite all of the things those clinics do, and then recount all the women they've supported through an unplanned pregnancy, and all of the children they foster, adopt or otherwise support (even some they are related to).

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.

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.

I don't believe abortion is a right, it is the death of another human being. I respectfully disagree with you on that point. I have 12 children of my own and love each and every one of them. I just wonder, what dog people would say about the dogs having the right to abort it's puppies. Or if the owners aborting the puppies because they don't want the puppies yet. To me, children are much more valuable than dogs. They have a soul and are special in their own way. If we were not blessed with so many children of our own, we would have loved to adopt them as well. We lost one child before it was born, and it broke our hearts. We can't imagine how anyone could destroy something so beautiful. I hope you have a great day.

I agree, Julia. I enjoy her channel, until she goes all political on us. I get that people are entitled to their own opinions, but they need to realize that the US is about 50/50 on their political and social issue beliefs and you are alienating 50% of your current or potential followers by going on these rants. It’s not like she has a political channel. She has an RV channel. Again, she is free to express her opinions, however this IS her business and she has always struck me as a business woman, given her background. So, I am shocked that she does this. I own a business and I don’t bring politics into it EVER. That would be me shooting myself in the foot on my livelihood. I’m not sure why a KZbinr who isn’t running a political channel would do this. It’s not like they are an actor or a sport figure who makes millions and can afford to lose the support of 50% of their fans. There are actors who I will refuse to go see their movies anymore because of their bloviating on politics. They don’t care, they make enough $$$. But, a KZbinr isn’t in that income bracket. Scream your politics to your friends, not to your fans when you relying on eyes and screen time on your videos for your income. LOL. 🤷🏻‍♀️

FIRST - You don't have the right to murder a baby. It's not your body that's in question, it's the baby's body. It's got nothing to do with "women's rights", it has everything to do with "baby's rights". SECOND - other people have other opinions than you and have the right to express them. If you cannot tolerate that and feel the need to dump on them to make yourself feel better, then this is really about you and nothing to do with abortion.

No one, including you, has the right to say what happens to a fetus that is in some random woman’s body ….. now if the women in your life, feel it a necessity to involve you in your decision then that’s their business.

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!
