Money shouldn’t mandate healthcare. Yet that’s precisely what happens when it comes to abortion. Roughly 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in her lifetime — and not only women have abortions as trans men, genderqueer and non-binary people do too. People in the military don’t have insurance coverage to fund abortions. Last year … Continue reading
