abortion has been and always will be a part of our lives. this fact cannot be negated with a law; a political movement, or protesters outside a clinic. even one person facing unnecessary obstacles to get abortion care would be too many – and tens or even hundreds of thousands of women face such obstacles each year.<\/p>\n

people\u2019s real lived experiences – the stories of our lives – show that we need access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care services, including birth control, abortion, and care during and after pregnancy. we have the right to determine if, when and how many children we should have. and we will not be shamed into silence. not now, not ever again.<\/p>\n

no matter the statistic–1 in 3 or 1 in 4–we will continue to share our stories, calling out abortion opponents for their audacity, for their distrust of women and for their misguided and dangerous attempt to make abortion less accessible. we have the right to accessible health care. and that health care must include access to birth control and abortion care. anything less is reprehensible.
