It’s a great day to be a progressive American! So happy to know we’re moving forward in the 21st century, not backward to the 1950s. Last night, the two of us gathered with friends, ate chili, drank beer, watched the results come in, and at 11:15pm poured the champagne and played “We Are the Champions” on the stereo! Here are just a few of the things we all won:

• The preservation of safe & legal abortion
• Marriage equality in four new states
• Contraception coverage from health insurance
• Lower abortion rates
• Equal pay for equal work
• The continued existence of Planned Parenthood 
• The first openly gay person elected to Senate
• The most female Senators in the history of Congress
• A moratorium on old, white, anti-science, Republican dudes who think pregnancy from rape is a gift from God
• The acceptance that health and life of the mother ARE legitimate reasons for an abortion
