At night, with my heating pad on my womb and a kitten beside my stockinged feet, I have dreamed of helping children...

Kids, this seems like a good explanation of why some "nice" people are not as motivated to see change happen.

"'Oh, I know Mary Elizabeth,' said Chief Medical Officer Colleen McNicholas, eyebrows raised. McNicholas has been providing abortions in Missouri for 10 years and sits in an office plastered with uterus-themed greeting cards ('Sorry I ovary-acted'). When Coleman emerged as a leader in Missouri’s antiabortion movement, McNicholas said she wasn’t surprised.

By changing the faces out front, she said, conservative leaders are 'trying to move away from the obvious, which is that antiabortion laws and regulations are misogyny.'"

But women can be misogynistic, too, she said: 'Particularly White women and White women of privilege.' Abortion bans disproportionately impact low-income women and women of color, McNicholas added, who are already fighting to overcome the many layers of systemic oppression. Coleman can make these arguments against abortion because she 'benefits from the system,' McNicholas said."
