I had to read this through tears. It’s still making me tear up as I go on with my day.

In truth, she didn’t have to talk about this publicly. It takes a lot of courage to do so. I have nothing but respect for her decision to openly and honestly talk about it, thus encouraging others to do the same. Anyone directing hate at her should take a long look in the mirror before going there.

I think it’s so important for women to know that they have options and not to allow fear to rule their choices. Knowledge IS power.
