I Was 4 And Dictating Stories Into

Nobody Got Anything Great By Playing It Safe.

It's Been A Long Time Since Roe V. Wade, And I Do Think Most People Are Able To Have Respect For Other People's Choices. Most People, I Think, Have Accepted That It's Not Up To Them To Control Other People's Choices, Except, It Seems, When It Comes To Washington, D.c., Where Everyone Has An Opinion About People's Uteruses.

Yes, It Is Hard Out There. But Hard Is Relative. I Come From A Middle-class Family, My Parents Are Academics. I Was Born After The Civil Rights Movement, I Was A Toddler During The Women's Movement, I Live In The United States Of America, All Of Which Means I Am Allowed To Own My Freedom, My Rights, My Voice And My Uterus.

When People Show You Who They Are, Believe Them. I Carry That With Me A Lot. It Has Served Me Well.

The Expected Is What Keeps Us Steady. It's The Unexpected That Changes Our Lives Forever.
