A love story from Texas

Jessica Valenti chronicles Abortion Every Day on a substack. It's an exhaustive and exhausting labor of love for women and for freedom. She knows why she fights on.

Today, the Harris campaign put out what I think may be the most powerful political ad I’ve ever seen. Please know before you watch that it is extremely distressing and graphic. But for good reason—it demonstrates exactly what abortion bans do to American women. ... this is why Republicans are losing and will lose.
They think they can talk about abortion as if it’s some shallow side issue. As if calling women ‘single issue voters’ will make us forget that the ‘single issue’ is our lives.

 This election is about all our lives.

I read you every day and truly appreciate all that you do for the country. As long as I can still see to read, I'll continue. I have maybe a good year left of sight.

DJan -- I had not known you were losing your eyesight. Just now looked in at your hikes -- you seem more mobile than I feel these days. Peripheral neuropathy is catching up with me, though I keep moving. Be well.
