Welcome to Texas, Where Women Have Less Bodily Autonomy Than Corpses

For the last few weeks, a battle has been raging in Texas over proposed abortion legislation. I was at the Capitol yesterday to protest the passage of this legislation--I have never been a political activist (well, not since I was eleven years old, but that's another story), but this showdown over choice and access versus control and subjugation has left me outraged and frustrated. I am pro-family, pro-life, and pro-choice. I have two wonderful children who I chose to conceive and bring to term. I believe every woman should have the same choice.
