WE CANNOT GO BACK.

I’m in Australia and can’t believe what’s going on in the US. My heart hurts for all the women fighting against this

When women fight together, we win together--our lives depend on it.

Proud of you Theresa. That had to be difficult to say. But the subject needs to be tackled. Thank you for your courage! 💙💙💙

Thank you for sharing your story Teresa. I am sorry that happened to you and am glad you survived. Women today deserve the same options we had as young women. We cannot go back!

The same thing happened to me. I had been raped by my stepfather when I was 12 years old! 1974 Redding, California. Please vote 💙🇺🇸💯

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I was raped in 1983. I never worried about pregnancy because the ER clinic gave me the "morning after" pill. My heart aches for girls and women today. I will be voting early and blue all the way. 💙💙💙

We should not have to constantly relive these things so we can attempt to access medical care. It shouldn’t be anyone else’s business.
