Good morning! For @gbhnews I am planning to look back at the 1-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade last June. What has surprised you over the past year? What questions do you have about the future of #abortion in Massachusetts or elsewhere? What impact have you seen in your own life? #reproductivehealth #news #supremecourt

My eldest got pregnant (her & her & husband had been trying for a long time). So, it's fantastic news. Sadly, one of my first thoughts was "thank goodness we live in a pro-choice states just in case something goes wrong."

So much can go wrong with pregnancies--even for the healthiest person. There are many bad things about the Dobbs decision. One of those things: the abject fear of being pregnant in a state where abortion has been removed as a medical tool.

@VirginiaMurr @gbhnews Thanks for sharing, Virginia. Would you mind sharing which state you live in?

@meghansmith @gbhnews

No problem 🙂

My daughters and I all (happily) live in Illinois.

@VirginiaMurr @gbhnews I've definitely heard this - many people feel uneasy even if they live in states where there is still abortion access. Thanks for sharing!
