So I was awake last night after taking in Chris Hayes, pages of people’s writings, and of course Rachel Maddow, and I thought about my time at the University of Nebraska in the early seventies, before abortion was legal and I started to image a seventeen year old girl (she is not real, but to me she surely represents someone today), and I named her Emma.
This is very moving. Thank you for writing it. My heart breaks for all the young gals and women who need this care and service. I think of my daughters who are both in this age range. They have me. I will always respect their choices and will do anything I can to help make sure they are well taken care of if they need this procedure. Think about any operation, perhaps even an out patient procedure that we may experience. How thorough we are to vet the doctors, the facility etc before we go through the procedure. How heartless this court is to treat our young gals and women with such disregard for their safety, comfort and mental care. As a women, a mother who struggled to have the two beautiful children I was finally blessed with, I will do my part to help.
