Thank you for sharing this story. It’s both heartbreaking and an inspiration to the endurance of love.

It also resonates deeply with the volunteer work I am deeply committed to.

I have been an abortion clinic escort for 5 years. (I also volunteer for an abortion fund and am a certified abortion doula)

Abortion is both deeply personal and a community responsibility.

Regardless of our individual spirituality (or lack of), we are called as humans to care for one another.

I feel honored to provide protection, comfort, and support to patients and their companions weekly. Every person deserves at least one other human who will look them in the eyes and tell them they matter, their choice is good because it’s right for them, and that they are not alone.

Thank you for speaking on this issue and humanizing it- because it really is so important.
