I want to share my thoughts on what it means to me, as a disabled woman in her twenties, to see Tammy Duckworth be the first sitting Senator to give birth (thread) 1/ I use a wheelchair. When I was in college, I went to my friend's 2nd-grade classroom for a day, and one of the students asked me if I had kids. Before I could say "no," or "not yet," another kid ssh'd him and said, "People in wheelchairs can't be moms!" 2/
