    Abortion "can restore hope and a sense of possibility to women who find themselves in the position of needing one," writes . "I know that this is true, because I had one."

    Shameful and horrifying. I can’t believe that I have to say this, but Palestinians should be able to pray, live and mourn without being violently attacked. The US government cannot continue turning a blind eye to this brutality.

    For the past 30 years, I have marched to protect reproductive freedom. Yesterday, I marched to the Senate with fellow members of Congress to condemn the refusal of all Republicans and one Democrat to vote to codify Roe v. Wade.
