"I've always believed the simple act of sharing stories is one of the most effective ways to influence, teach, and inspire change."

This was in my library pile but this week's news moved it to the top of the queue.

“Furthermore, the [Catholic hospitals’] directives specifically state that a person’s decision is to be followed ‘so long as it does not contradict Catholic principles.’ In other words: Catholicism trumps personal agency, every time.”

“If the guiding principle in my life is non-absolutism, then my job as a physician is to acknowledge another person’s truth and recognize that our truths may not be synonymous. For this reason, I find it incredibly important to provide both prenatal care and abortion care in my practice.”

I can already tell this is going to be a non fiction book I recommend to everyone!

justice for dave and gwen

This is so well done

mary’s story was so different. and it makes me feel even more pro choice than before.

Finding this hard to read - having a lot of emotions about it! But so far it's been 10/10.

this chapter literally proved all the lies i’ve been told wrong.

Totally unrelated to the story itself but can I just say that this book is so freshly printed I can still smell the ink on the pages and I don’t even wanna touch it because it’s so perfect 😂

Promised myself not to read physical books until I get a good head start on my Bachelors thesis, but I needed something else in the reading repertoire as well, so an audiobook it is!

having to read this in small doses bc all the hoops these women have had to jump through angers me

Great book!

Waiting period for an abortion but not firearms, really Texas?!

I really hate that my reproductive rights are in the hands of men, as if they had a vagina.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.
