Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) sent love to all birthing persons who shared their abortion experiences on Abortion Storytellers Day.
“On this national Abortion Storytellers Day, I just want to take a moment to send some love to our storytellers,” Pressley said in a video message posted to social media.
“You have a right to privacy. You don’t have to share your story, but I’m grateful for your willingness to do so.”

Speaking openly about having an abortion is not something to be stigmatized, the congresswoman and liberal “Squad” member said.
On #AbortionStorytellersDay, I’m sending love to our storytellers.
You have a right to privacy & don’t have to share your story—but I’m grateful for your willingness to come forward & create space for others to do the same.#OurAbortionStories pic.twitter.com/CxNAbXY9gk

“The truth of the matter is there’s no shame in your healthcare choice. The only shame is that there are those working hard to deny you it,” according to Pressley.
“Abortion care is healthcare, and healthcare is a fundamental human right.”
Pressley also took a moment to discuss her action in the wake of the Supreme Court leak that suggested the court is set to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“I marched over to the United States Senate the day of the vote of the Women’s Health Protection Act to look them in the eye, demanding them to make a different choice,” she said. “A choice that would affirm bodily autonomy, reproductive justice, and freedom. A choice that would affirm abortion care for all.”

“I won’t stop legislating, organizing, mobilizing, fighting until abortion care, healthcare, is affirmed for all.”
