Rick Santorum recently visited my adopted state of Washington and declared, "This is a blue state? No way. This is a state that treasures freedom and opportunity." Gee, Rick, I didn't realize I had to be conservative to treasure freedom and opportunity! Oh, wait - that's because I DON'T.
I treasure the freedom to love and marry whom I choose.
I treasure the freedom to decide what is best for me and my body.
I treasure the opportunity to take care of my basic health needs even if I'm poor.
I treasure the opportunity to live in a country that values equality, tolerance, and compassion.
At least, I would treasure those things, if conservative lawmakers weren't so determined to stop me.
