English II Toffee
Yesterday, voting had taken place all over the State of North Carolina. A large number of people didn’t vote against the first amendment, they voted for it. Mainly because they were blinded by the “gay marriage,” policy. That is not the only thing that was on the amendment. There were other things involving women’s rights; education; health care; et cetera. Now since the amendment basically won the poll, now we cannot have gay marriage; on top of that, a pregnant woman will not get any health care, nor the baby when it’s born (they have to be married to obtain health care.) And, it is all coming into effect November.
But what pisses me off the most is the fact that if a woman in a relationship gets beat by her partner, she cannot obtain anything out of it.
And, if I were to get pregnant somehow, my child and I will not receive health care.
IT IS ALL BECAUSE NORTH CAROLINA IS BLINDED BY THEIR FAITH; THE CHRISTIANS, OF COURSE, VOTED FOR THE AMENDMENT BECAUSE THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN HOMOSEXUALITY.
Even the Governor told citizens' not to vote for it because she knew EXACTLY what was in the text.

No word about women’s rights. No word about education. No word about health care.
It seems someone made a lie.
