How did I miss this? Jane Hodgson, an incredible reproductive freedom activist and a doctor once convicted of performing illegal abortions in the pre-Roe days, died a few days ago. After Roe, she continued to work in reproductive health, making the 150-mile trip from St. Paul, Minnesota to Duluth in order to continue performing abortions in an understaffed area. I’m personally grateful for her strength, her vision, and her courage. She will be missed.
