Weird! Sorry, should be up in a minute...

I met Sarah Weddington last year in Worcester, MA at my college. She was an awesome speaker. I bought a copy of her book and she was nice enough to give me an autograph and a sweet message.

Oh, there it goes! It's always great to hear personal stories about these issues, it makes it all so much more concrete. And the story about the crisis pregnancy center... wow. I can't believe they kept calling/harassing her to find out her choice.

You gotta warn us that these things will make us tear up at our desks :)

Great video!

good stories, but one seems to be missing: the story of the person who was pregnant with a viable fetus and had an abortion anyway.

i totally don't mean to disrespect carrying a fetus to term as if it's not a choice, because it is, but i feel like this reel plays it safe by not introducing any controversial decision, which is at the heart of the issue. if we base our right to choose on exceptional scenarios, like partial miscarriages, rapes and incest, we weaken our own argument.

so, these voices are important to hear, but i think there's also room to sympathize the traditionally less sympathetic cases as well.
