Do you need to hear a detailed explanation of their decision before you know what you think about it? If their explanation didn't seem compelling to you, what would you feel? or think? or say? What would it take for you to think differently?

What comes to mind when you think of a person having an abortion because genetic testing showed something they didn't feel prepared to deal with? What comes to mind when you think of a person having an abortion at home, and then putting the fetus in the trash?

What comes to mind when you think of a person having an abortion at 30 weeks? What comes to mind when you think of someone choosing a form of birth control that isn't particularly effective? What comes to mind when you think of someone not using birth control at all?

Even if the parents are already being investigated for abuse or neglect, I-001 would force schools to release information to them. #transkids #Washington

Our research shows that medication abortion patients who receive pills by mail without first getting an ultrasound do just as well as those who are examined and given the drugs in person. Any attempt to restrict this type of care is not based on science.

“My biggest fear is going to the hospital." Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth. Some experience dangerous complications as a result. 19thnews.org/2025/10/preg...

ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk

Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health — and the health of their pregnancies.
