  • I know where Josie Aimes is coming from. I came from the part of the U.S where women are considered property. A man can do what he wants when he wants and nobody does anything about it. Rape is not prosecuted whether it be marriage or non consintual. I was a rape victim and I conceived a child out of it and I gave my child up for adoption. I tried to prosecute and I was shunned by my family and my friends. In my family a child whether conceived by rape or out of marriage they are to be kept no matter what. I am glad she had the balls to do what was right. I am glad that women are willing to go the extra mile to make laws for women.

  • The movie North Country is a must see for all women. This lady stood up for what she believed in. very good movie. I also watched Memory keepers Daughter, what a wonderful movie. Heart renchen at times,but had a nice ending to it. The nurse in this movie was amazing. I would have done the same thing she did,save a baby's life. What a darling lady?

    To Whom It May Concern;
    First of all thankyou very much for this opportunity~!
    How much I Loved "North~Country"~ and how much I could "Relate", too the Anita Hill~Judge Thomas Case, as well~! When it comes too "Woman" & their Independance, & their struggles etc.. I can't help but shed tears, myself, due too putting my own abuse, in the backburner, if u will, in order, for my own "Life" to go on~!!
    Regrets yes~ many~! Hopefully one day I will make a Big defference in "Womens" Lives as well~!!
    I'm sorry, but I could go on & on~!
    Thank you~ Lifetime for sharing & inspiring us women, with your "Based ON True Story: Episodes, perhaps, one day I shall tell my own, & take it out from the "BackBurner"~??
    Have a great Day~!
    Best Wishes:
    Sincerely: Ms.Deborah A.B. LeColst~ Middleton, MA
