To say I’m beyond disgusted by the RETHUG responses to your article is an understatement. I want to thank you for the courage and strength it took to write this piece and please know you are touching and helping countless women who have endured like abuse more than you can ever imagine.

As for the “dime a dozen” uneducated, outright stupid — downright cruel replies I see on this page — unfortunately one can’t fix stupid and it’s best to ignore them. One does though pity any children they may have.
