These 2 are so insightful, current and wonderful. love their takes on all political views. Then Erin talks about her pregnancies or babies - DUN, DUN. She tries SO HARD to talk about women issues - but it's obvious, only Uterus is important. How does Alyssa even agree to this anymore?

Hi, This is WHY NC Governor Cooper took himself out of the running for VP. Our Lt. Gov is Mark Robinson, a radical Christian conservative and our Gov is reluctant to be gone for long periods of time out of fear of what Robinson would do. He believes abortion is "child sacrifice," thinks men should run the church, calls women "witches," and refers to LGBTQ ppl as "filth" and "maggots." He was single until he ran for Gov and then suddenly got married. NCers don't trust him! He's certifiable, IMHO!
