This was me about 7 months pregnant. If you squint you can see my handy-dandy uterus protest sign in the background. I worked as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood for three years and my time there was a wonderful learning experience that strengthened my passion for pro-choice rights. While I was pregnant and walking into the office, anti-choice protesters would scream horrible things about my parenting skills at me on a bullhorn. But, this was nothing compared to what our patients faced on a daily basis. Their ignorant shouts actually invigorated me, as I knew my work was vital to help keep access to reproductive health services in our community. My beautiful son is now 9 months old and I’m currently taking time off work as a stay-at-home mom, but when I’m ready I’ll return to work in reproductive justice. The fight is real, and as a new mother, more important to me than ever. -- source link
