Lest we forget

Two pioneers of women's health recall vividly what happened in the days before abortions were legal. It was traumatic and dangerous for all concerned.

“We can’t go back; we cannot go back,” she implores. “We’ve seen what happens to women when they don’t have the option to control their own fertility. We’ve seen them die. We can’t let that happen. We might end up with a constitutional amendment banning all forms of abortion. That could happen if the people of this country don’t stand up to be counted and say that we will not permit rights for reproductive care of any kind to be taken away.”

It's easy to take the current state of reproductive control for granted, but we must not do so.
