Key takeaways

  • No number of slogans or activists could help me in that moment.
  • That is why the ruling from the federal court to pause mail-order abortion drugs nationwide is nothing short of monumental.
  • I am now 25 years old, working as a sterile processing surgical technician while pursuing my nursing degree.

Why this matters: political developments that affect policy direction and public trust.

No number of slogans or activists could help me in that moment. What I remember is the blood, the pain and the terrifying realization that when everything went wrong, I was completely on my own.
