Roe v Wade, Jan. 22, 1973. 48 years ago. In those 48 years, we have witnessed relentless,

Escalating, hate-filled, and even murderous attacks on women's bodily autonomy. Hundreds of pieces of legislation designed to restrict access, to punish women for daring to think that they could/should control their own bodies.

I live just a few miles from the site of one of the most recent murderous attacks- the Black Friday mass shooting at a PP in Colorado Springs.i have worked as a clinic escort, trolled the woman-hating gestational slavers with friends in guerilla theatre, received death threats, been assaulted for being pro-choice.

"Nevertheless, she persisted." And will continue as long as necessary.

Today, there was a ray of hope. The Biden-Harris administration stated its support for reproductive rights, for codifying Roe, and ending the "global gag rule".Hope and help.
