171,000 Traveled for Abortions Last Year. See Where They Went.

Out-of-state trips for abortions more than doubled in 2023, demonstrating the upheaval in access since the overturn of Roe v. Wade.

I received a lovely comment on my blog overnight:

"Loved your story. Isn’t it wonderful that all true genealogists are so generous with their time in helping others?"

I couldn't agree more, Yvonne. The world of genealogy is like one big family. (Which is rather apt!)

To those celebrating Father's Day, hope you have a great day. To those that no longer have your Dad around, or had a difficult relationship and find this day hard, hugs. X
Quite glad tomorrow is Friday. It’s been a tough couple of weeks. I need SLEEP!!! 😴😴😴😴

#OnThisDay, 25 Apr 1990, Violeta Barrios de Chamorro becomes the first woman to be elected President of Nicaragua. She served for six years, stabilising the economy.

Chamorro's husband had been a leader in the opposition to the Somoza regime, and was murdered in 1978. Chamorro took over his work and was alongside revolutionary leader Daniel Ortega when the Sandinista took control of the county. She then became critical of Ortega's rule.

Had really vivid dreams again last night. Have forgotten what they were about. They weren’t as weird as the tiger ultrasound. I don’t think I’ll be training as a vet any time soon! 🤣🤣
Had weird #dreams that I was working in #LondonZoo last night. We were looking after the #tigers and doing ultrasounds on them. Now discussing how to fix #shower drains in a group for our building. Not even had my coffee yet. Need to connect a printer this morning, too. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
Meet Lola! Her caregiver says Lola is a little weird. She demands head rubs by standing on her hind legs like a meerkat. She can stay like that for 10 minutes! She meows loudly and often. One of her favorite things to do is hide. She can’t figure out how people keep finding her.
Henrietta Lacks was still alive when the remarkable qualities of the cells from her tumour were discovered. Yet nobody thought to tell her. It was only decades later that her family learned of the use of her cells.
