My friend Ashley was v brave to give me permission to share her experience, which is one of the most shocking, appalling stories I have ever heard. For those of you suggesting that a 15 week abortion ban is somehow a reasonable or safe compromise, (long 🧵)

I was blessed with a wonderful maternal fetal medicine specialist and a lovely set of nurses. Seeing the looks on their faces, as they were forced to provide inadequate care to me because of the laws in place, still haunts me.

I had to have an emergency D+C (awake but in twilight) to remove it around 12am Christmas morning. The procedure took 3x as long as a routine d+C because of how clotted the placenta was. This was all traumatic, frightening, and painful.

The abortion care was by far the safest part of my high risk pregnancy and birth. What was unsafe was having to travel to another state in a pandemic in order to access it, and the unnecessary trauma that resulted from that.

Breastfeeding is not some simple, free solution to the

. Anyone arguing that it is free and easy, or somehow superior, has never tried it and is sorely mistaken. Changing the conversation about breastfeeding is long overdue.

The response to the shortage, which has shelves across the US carrying nearly half their usual supply in recent weeks, overlooks the high costs of breastfeeding.
