Each of these lived experiences is why we're still fighting to pass legislation like my:

—Support Through Loss Act
—Resolution to Honor Survivors of Homicide Victims
—Grandfamilies Act
—Healthy MOMMIES Act
—Women’s Health Protection Act
—PAID Leave Act

I’m thinking of those for whom reproductive freedom & abortion care have been a crucial part of their journey.

Of those who have struggled amid the maternal health crisis.

Of those balancing motherhood with all other responsibilities & identities.

I’m thinking of those holding their children close, feeling celebrated & appreciated for all they do.

I'm thinking of those struggling with infertility or pregnancy loss.

Those who have lost a child or a mother, & our elders who are raising their grand-babies as their own.
