announcing: abortion out loud!

today, 喀麦隆vs巴西波胆分析 will launch abortion out loud, a new campaign dedicated to highlighting the work of youth activists in protecting 2022年世界杯亚洲积分 and elevating the stories of young people who have experienced abortion. the launch kicks off with a week of action highlighting the importance of ending abortion stigma. over 100 campuses will host events where students share abortion stories and ask the question:  “why do you say abortion out loud?”

i’m sharing my story in light of the new abortion laws in ohio and alabama.
i’m a cancer survivor. i received a life saving surgery in june 2016 that put my cancer into remission. not only 4 months later, i found out i was pregnant.

statement on introduction of the heal act

喀麦隆vs巴西波胆分析 applauds the introduction of the health equity and access under the law (heal) for immigrant women and families act. the bill would remove the 5 year waiting period that all federally authorized immigrants must currently endure to gain access to medicaid and the children’s health insurance program (chip). the heal for immigrant women and families act would also allow deferred action for childhood arrivals (daca) recipients and undocumented immigrants to buy plans on the affordable care act (aca) marketplaces with access to financial assistance.

this high school graduation photograph reminds me how young i was when i arranged for and survived a ‘back-alley,’ illegal abortion three years before the roe v. wade ruling. holding this photograph now, nearly 50 years later, i think about the other women who weren’t so lucky back then and the people now who continue to be denied access to abortion services in some areas of our country.
