Stories

I didn't mean to imply I was making a novel suggestion, or that personal stories haven't been part of the pro-choice movement all along, but I think the situation has changed a bit with the most recent Court ruling. I think it'll be very possible to focus on the fact that this isn't about "Congress getting in the way of you having an abortion," it's about "Congress stopping your doctor from doing what's best for you." To people like me those are largely indistinguishable, but for the "abortion is icky" crowd the latter may have more resonance.

So, yes, more stories please, and everyone with a megaphone should be open to broadcasting them.
