That's very brave of her and I truly hope it isn't used against her politically, but I feel it may well be.

Slightly off topic but there's so much talk about declining birth rates, it's high time world leaders started listening to women like this, and women in general, about what would help.

Forcing pregnancy through abortion bans is not the answer. Restricting access to healthcare and treatment is not the answer.

In the US restricted treatment & abortion bans have nothing to do with the modern declining birth rate, and everything to do with historical religious beliefs and the general desire by a patriarchal society to have control over women. Which in turn leads some women into having the same views due not to their own well thought out consideration of the subject ,but the way they were raised or the doctrine of their faith.

The same can be said of many other countries around the world.

I do agree AoC is very brave to document this publicly.

The so called Evangelical right would have women tied to the kitchen sink, and perpetually pregnant. Their stock is high atm, due to the incumbent POTUS; may he leave us all very soon.
