I have been fighting for it for a while now. I know we deserve freedom and the right to make our own choices, and I know this is what the Moon Goddess has always wanted for her daughters. I changed the laws for women, and I want to live in the kingdom I am building with my mate. I want to see the changes I made progress with my own eyes.
