Does anyone else remember Sherri Finkbine of Romper Room in 1962? She had taken thalidomide and had to leave the country to get an abortion.
She made a moral choice and adults lost their mind.

@GovJanetMills says she’s the progressive choice for Maine’s Senate race. But her record as governor tells a different story. She vetoed farmworker protections, renter safeguards, tribal sovereignty bills, a wealth-tax, and even pocket vetoed a statewide rape-kit tracking system.
