So I was doing some reading about the marches today...

And was reading a recap on the Atlanta march. This quote struck me as interesting. A couple of issues I see here, but what do you guys see wrong here?
4:30 p.m. -- Our colleague, Raisa Habersham, spoke with Elizabeth Brady, 27, a math teacher from Clayton County, who marched today in Atlanta. Here’s why she said she marched:
“I don’t have one specific reason -- it’s everything. The direction the country is taking is scaring me and I just wanted to come out and walk with people that had the same mindset that I did and who are just as afraid as I am.
I have two things most personal to me: One is healthcare; my brother is Type-1 diabetic. He’s been under my parents’ health insurance since he was 11 years old and he turns 26 this July.
If Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act goes away, my brother won’t have anything to pay for his insulin. And it’s not his fault he has that disease and I don’t think that is something he should be faulted for.
And also, I’m a woman and I’ve gone to Planned Parenthood and I’ve gotten free birth control for the last eight years and because of my free birth control I have not brought in kids to this world I haven’t been able to care for.
I feel like that has helped our economy overall, just because I’ve been able to make that choice not to have children.

Well, she though hard about why she was marching.

She though long enough to expose some screwed up logic then contradict herself

Unfortunately, this is a very common mindset of many. Lucky for us, they lost the election.

How about the fact that she's a teacher....

Presumably with health insurance. Birth control would probably cost her $10 per month. But she relies on free birth control from PP. Not to mention she has a job and income.

Perhaps she feels like the economy would really take off if everyone just stopped having children.
