So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around?

You can't call yourself a feminist if you don't believe in the right to abortion.

The turkey. The sweet potatoes. The stuffing. The pumpkin pie. Is there anything else we all can agree so vehemently about? I don't think so.
