No one who cares about children dying is prochoice.

I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding you, but Portman openly talks about how damaging it was. She’s said in interviews that she wanted to be seen as bookish and smart as a result of the sexualization she experienced so young, including the countdown.

I thought Yara was going to demand independence. She had this look on her face like, “Wait, we can do that?”
