I can’t even believe I’m writing this. A woman’s right to make decisions about her own body was probably the very first issue that ever sparked a political thought in me. I was maybe 15 years old. Maybe younger.<\/p>\n

And now, more than 20 years later, there is still doubt over whether women should be allowed to make their own decisions.<\/p>\n

This is what happens when millions of women stand up to demand to be heard<\/a>. Backlash.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to write a long post justifying a woman’s right to self-determination. \u00a0There does not have to be any justification. There is nothing to argue: My body, my rules.<\/p>\n

Instead, I will list the places to go to fight for this right.<\/p>\n

Starting at the top:<\/p>\n
