This is one of Peg Johnston’s “thought pieces” on abortion politics from the perspective of an independent provider. It was published first in a provider newsletter, published by Johnston, and then after some updates in an anthology by Krista Jacob entitled “Our Choices, Our Lives, Unapologetic Writings on Abortion.”
