Thinking of the women who have come up to me to tell me, with tears in their eyes, that their grandmother died of an illegal abortion. Or their great aunt. Or their mother. Or their friend. To say that women will die is not hysteria; it is a statement of fact. We cannot go back. https://t.co/bfHMr8rBDm
