BILINGUAL CARLA SUPPORT COORDINATOR
"Funding abortion transcends beyond the monetary act of give and exchange; it is a lifeline, an alternative for someone who may feel tethered to one reality. Abortion has, and will always be, about the possibility of choice. We are deserving of choice, anything less is a violation and direct attack on our free will, our personal autonomy. When we fund abortion we are refusing to mislabel it as shame, and instead, reclaiming for what it is: healthcare."
-
