These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain.

This woman had to endure septic shock, delivering her stillborn daughter, and an stay in the ICU because of laws restricting her access to abortion.

How exactly am I being protected? How exactly am I expected to learn in an environment that won’t even provide me with the simplest of human decencies??
