Thank you so much for posting this – what an amazing, eloquent, passionate woman. She puts the argument so powerfully & with such style.
I’d love to know who she is, to find more of her poetry.
I desperately needed that after today. I was riding my bike to class and as I came to the main section of campus I encountered a thirty foot high wall with pictures of aborted fetuses, and people yelling at me about why I shouldn’t have a right to choose. I was so upset I couldn’t concentrate in class and when I came out I encountered a woman near the wall surrounded by 15 men yelling at her for being pro-choice. I’ll be back tomorrow with a lot of air in my lungs.

OMG who was this amazing woman?? I too had tears in my eyes. There’s always something jaw-dropping about women who passionately speak the truth.
