To me, what came out of today's show was the idea that women need more support around the whole experience of pregnancy, no matter the circumstances, whether it ends in an abortion or not. We all need more care and empathy than we're getting at that critical stage of our lives. It made me want to communicate better with my children so they don't have to go through such painful and formative moments alone.

I was really affected by what I heard and grateful to these women for speaking so honestly. It's something I've never heard before.
