My mother had three pregnancies, and two children. She had a miscarriage, between my brother and I, in that four year span between our births, there was another pregnancy, another child desperately wanted, who didn’t live to term.
My mother had her pre-natal care, and her post-miscarriage care, at Planned Parenthood.
Because it was the best place for her. Because at the time, she had a two year old child and a bike and they were living just around that nice little sweet spot between ‘desperately poor’ and ‘almost have enough to consider a savings account.‘ And when you are poor, and female, and need health services, Planned Parenthood is there.
And my mother walked past the protesters, walked past the people who screamed at her about not killing her baby, about how she was a whore, and she was going to hell. My mother, in mourning for a child that she had lost, blaming herself, hating herself for failing at this most feminine of things, walked through that, to care for herself, to get the medical care she needed. So that someday, two years later, she could have me.
I cannot speak to the courage that must have taken. But that path is walked by thousands of women. Every single day.
She donated to Planned Parenthood until her death. And she said to me, that the people who screamed at her saw her only as a vessel for a baby. They didn’t care about her, they didn’t care about her baby, either. They were pro-birth, not pro-life, because none of them would be there after her baby was born, to offer help and support and care.
The protesters didn’t care about her. And the medical professionals inside did. It is the right of every woman to have access to safe, affordable, quality health care, no matter where she comes from, what her income is, or what choices she makes with her life. And that is what these kind of bills are attempting to take away.

the signs as untranslatable words
Aries: Mamihlapinatapei, Yagan (indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego) - “The wordless, yet meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something but are both reluctant to start.”
Taurus: Saudade, Portuguese - “the feeling of longing for something or someone that you love and which is lost.”
Gemini: Won, Korean - “The reluctance of a persons part to let go of an illusion.”
Cancer: Iktsuarpok, Inuit - “The frustration or impatience of waiting for someone to turn up at an event or a meeting”
Leo: Cafuné, Brazilian Portuguese - “The act of tenderly running one’s fingers through someone’s hair.”
Virgo: Hyggelig, Danish - “It’s literal translation into English gives connotations of a warm, friendly and cozy demeanor”
Libra: Ya’aburnee, Arabic - “Both morbid and beautiful at once, this incantatory word means ‘You bury me,’ a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person because of how difficult it would be to live without them.”
Scorpio: Friolero, Spanish - “a person who is especially sensitive to cold weathers or temperatures.”
Sagittarius: Wabi-Sabi, Japanese - “A way of living that focuses on finding beauty within the imperfections of life and accepting, peacefully, the natural cycle of growth and decay.”
Capricorn: Toska, Russian - (Vladmir Nabokov describes it best) “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague relentlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody or something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.”
Aquarius: Uitwaaien, Dutch - “Literally it means to walk in the wind, but in a more figurative (and commonly used) sense, it means to take a brief break in the country side to clear one’s head.”
Pisces: Gökotta, Swedish - “To wake up early in the morning with the purpose of going outside to hear the first birds sing.”

You see all round you proofs of the inadequacy of material things—how joy, comfort, peace and consolation are not to be found in the transitory things of the world. Is it not then foolishness to refuse to seek these treasures where they may be found?
