Protect Reproductive choice and access to safe and legal abortion
 

please protect women’s access to safe and legal abortion.  Please look at the scientific literature showing that abortion is safe as it is!   There do not need to be more regulations making it harder for women to access care.  I had 2 abortions at a young age.  One was in Ohio with a waiting period and a h doctor at a private clinic.  I had complications afterward and was lucky I could talk to a physician without threat of legal action.  The second was in Colorado in a planned parenthood and it was a supportive and caring environment and I experienced no complications.  I am so grateful for the ability to do this safely.  Otherwise I would have done it unsafely.  

Please protect this right.  We need it.  Our daughters need it. It is your duty.  Please support planned parenthood and a woman’s right to choose.
