When “Stranger Things” actress Maya Hawke spoke on The Tonight Show in 2022 she shared how her mother’s abortion made her own life possible—and how without access to safe, legal care, her parents’ lives would have been “totally derailed.”

Just finished 107 Days. Sec. Rodham Clinton has always been THAT girl, but reading VP Harris share how fully she supported her run for president… that’s girlhood. I’ll always wonder what our nation could’ve been under a Hillary presidency. @hillaryclinton.bsky.social

Reminder: Six women in four months had to be airlifted out of Idaho WHILE HEMORRHAGING because the emergency room couldn’t treat them under the state’s extreme abortion ban. Pregnancy complications can happen to anyone at any time. We need abortion access.
