Conditions like that are less rare than anyone realizes I think. And it hits real close to home because my Mom's baby sister bled to death of an ectopic pregnancy. She had endometriosis, which I also have and so do 2 of my sisters. I had one successful pregnancy out of three and thank god I was able to get the medical care women are being denied today.

When you take all the things that can go wrong in a pregnancy, the number of women affected borders on unbelievable. And as you point out, they don't care. In their eyes, if a woman can't make babies, what good is she?

The part that slays me, just absolutely slays me, is that the majority of Americans do not want any of this. They don't want abortion bans and birth control bans and they don't want the LGBTQ community persecuted. But yet they rise. And it terrifies me to watch and feel helpless.
