Because of the Clinic I am Alive to Tell You This

I’m lucky — not wise, or circumspect, or chaste — just lucky that I have not had an abortion. Thank you, Ann Kestner, for this poem.

I was impressed with this poem, too, Sarah. I love how Kestner used three different scenarios to show the importance of abortion rights. People are so quickly lumped into a single stereotype.
