"To me what matters is not whether or not an abortion occurs. It's whether women are able to chart their own life course."

"Want to know how it feels to lead a team of scientists for over a decade, produce nuanced and important findings about abortion's impact on women and children, and then have the most media attention paid to one sentence used as documentation for a claim that isn't true?

Mind blowing.
