So I think we’re back to a fight about when life begins and that’s the new push, not the women’s health argument. It’s screw the woman, she’s just a host, let’s go back to life. And those are passing everywhere. I think deliberately pushing this issue of when life begins before the Supreme Court.

Thousands of laws have been passed at the state level, and so many of those laws have been completely pretextural . There’s so much of this that just pretends to be showing great solicitude for women, and is just so deeply violative of women.

Women are having to drive hundreds of miles, and stay in a hotel, and leave their kids at home and they can’t afford it. All the stuff that burden women’s rights.

The thing that struck me most was the men who came up to me and said, “Thank you so much for sharing your story. I would have had no idea why a woman would need to have an abortion after 20 weeks a pregnancy and it makes complete sense.” I also had a woman tell me that her friend had gone through something very similar but then had decided to not terminate and all of the pain that she went through making that decision.

I remember protesters. Because we rehearsed at the Planned Parenthood, there would be protesters holding up signs when my mom or dad would be driving me into rehearsal. When we had opportunity to perform at the Planned Parenthood national luncheon, there were tons of protestors outside of the hotel holding up signs of fetuses. I didn’t really… I wasn’t afraid of them. I don’t know why. I acknowledged them, but I felt like they couldn’t hurt me.
