Anyone working in the abortion field gets my thanks and admiration, from the CNAs at abortion care facilities to the nurses in operating rooms to the brave volunteers who face down the "Pro-life" protesters at clinics. Recently, at a clinic in Raleigh, N.C. one of the protesters shot himself in the leg with the gun he had stashed on his person. Was he protecting himself in case of BEARS?

We need to continue to speak about our experiences, to de-stigmatize abortion whenever we can.

What is going on in this country is so disappointing. Seeing so clearly, how divided we are and how politicians use sensitive issues to further divide us makes me A) want to vote and B) want to move! (I live in Florida where people drive around with Confederate flags flying on their muddy trucks.)

Thanks so much for writing about your experiences.
