I am a woman, and I am worried for myself, my daughters and their daughters. I have been fortunate to not need an abortion, but in my lifetime, I have known women who had fallen ill while pregnant who needed abortions. They don’t like to talk about it, but those babies were wanted. They were in various stages in their lives, some younger and some older, but they all wanted their babies and could not keep them. I didn’t ask where they went or what they did after, but I know they had to have abortions.

What happens to them now? What happens to my daughters, who are also mothers, who become ill while pregnant? Do they go bankrupt while trying to travel out of state to save their lives? Do they die and abandon my beautiful grandchildren and their husbands? What if my daughters or granddaughters are attacked by a man and become pregnant? Will I be the great-grandmother or grandmother of a monster’s child?
