This is What is Important.

And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!” And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is what’s important.” ― Iain Thomas Just like every one of us, there are so many things grabbing at my attention, so many things that I feel like I 'should' put my focus on and energy into, so many things

Irrespective of our stances on abortion, the signing of this document is a very public event to mark one powerful mans opinion about what women worldwide should be ‘allowed’ to do with their own bodies.
