Truthtellers like the #MA7's very own @CllrKendraLara, who stood before thousands & bravely shared her personal abortion story:
“I had an abortion because I could, and my decision to choose is not up for discussion." bostonglobe.com/2021/10/02/m…

And my Congressional colleagues & fellow abortion freedom fighters @CoriBush, @PramilaJayapal & @BLeeForCongress, who stood in their power sharing their lived experiences before Congress & the world.

And the millions of people who've come forward: thank you for your storytelling and for creating space for others to do the same.
I look forward to a day where people no longer have to relive their trauma in order to advance justice.
