I’ve been in some dangerous situations as a person active in social movements, ranging from marching through tear gas and rubber bullets in uprisings against police terrorism to locking underneath a truck to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. I can say it took me more courage to decide to go to Planned Parenthood last month, to receive the reproductive healthcare all women should be entitled to. The pain of getting an IUD procedure 12 years ago and the lack of forewarning of what I would experience was enough to keep me away from getting it replaced.
