Voting

[eohartman]

I went to my local polling location this morning, before work. Even though I voted for Obama four years ago, this time, my vote was different.

I voted for my baby. I voted for his hopes, his dreams, his freedom. I voted that his differences (whatever they may be) will be celebrated, not shamed. I voted for his health. I voted for his reproductive rights as much as I voted for my own. I voted for his ability to receive a quality education regardless of where we live or how much money we may have. I voted for his safety. I voted for his environment.

I voted for his future.

Love this. I voted for all this, too. For your baby, for my future babies, for our futures.
