Three years ago I miscarried in the second trimester of a pregnancy. It’s a painful memory but something many women have experienced.
I traveled hours to the nearest clinic, and I encountered anti-choice protesters. Thankfully I got the care I needed that day.
I had been told without an immediate abortion, or dilation and evacuation, that my life was at risk. That I could die, or not be able to have children in the future.
I got the care I needed, and now I'm the mother of my 17 month old son.
On what would’ve been #RoeVWade’s 50th anniversary, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans with stories like mine who are forced to go without access to safe reproductive care.
I won't stop fighting to restore this fundamental right and defend reproductive freedom for all.
