Thank you for sharing Kate. It’s hard to believe that we’re are taking such a big step backwards. We have to vote and encourage all the young people we know to get out and vote too! Never give up.

Kate:

Thank you so much for adding real life experiences to what some people think of as an abstract matter. Why this issue has re-emerged in these challenging time strikes me as odd. Thank you so much for coming forward with your heart felt wisdom.

Thank you for sharing your story, Kate. I feel so lucky to have grown up in the 80's/90's when contraception from Planned Parenthood was available without parental consent and abortion was more widely available all across the country. The choices I made then allowed me to have the life and family I always wanted. How many stories will not have happy endings in the future? Too many, I'm sure.

There are so many stories like yours. I'm so thankful you had care (though not all of it good.) But today, what are women in the states banning all abortions going to do? This is a very sad time for American women and girls. To be forced to have a baby no matter the consequences is inhumane. I am hoping that this "leak" is going to awaken people who will vote against all Republicans up for re-election, or newcomers talking about further restrictions.

I was so sorry to read of all your troubles, Kate. You saw and felt way too much heartbreak.
