She’s also so Canadian:

This woman is so badass.

Male mediocrity being awarded is so common that it’s not even newsworthy anymore.

But you see, that’s SHOCKINGLY MODERN. She’s a GIRL. Who READS.

I'm a New York Jew who reads the Times... where's MY Vogue profile??

Hey Bobby-

I had a full-term stillbirth and I related to so very much of this. I can’t even fathom being in a position where making a choice and being forced to jump through a million hoops to see that choice through were part of the equation.

The fact that you think calling an abortion an abortion at 32 weeks is disrespectful is something for you to work on, not Jia.

The sad face sticker on the door really hit home for me.

It’s also up to medical professionals what word is accurate for a medical procedure. We just like to dance around it because we are afraid of the word “abortion”.

Apologies, I was trying to hit cancel and hit publish instead.
I just wanted to add, to Elizabeth if she’s reading, that afterwards, I went on to have 3 full-term, healthy children. The first two, were completely trouble free pregnancies, and the last, I had to get a purse suture (my cervix decided “enough already!”),…

I’m so, very, very sorry that all of this happened to you.

I had a bicornuate uterus too; and had several miscarriages - one late term, at 30 weeks when he died in utero. At that stage, I had to deliver him naturally as well. It’s a feeling I literally have been unable to describe, to go through all of that and know…

I disagree. That title should not be touched. She had a late term abortion. Period. When I read the headline, I felt an emotional pull towards this article, and I knew I was in for a bit of an emotional read. You see, women don’t get abortions because it’s the easy way out, or because they’re sluts, or because they…

No. The headline is bang on. The writer is making a VERY specific point.

Powerful interview, Jia. Should be mandatory reading for anyone who wants to deny reproductive rights to women — you know, like their mothers, sisters and daughters.

I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.

I was horrified by the title and then immediately realized it was misleading.

fuck off

How selfless and incredible of this woman to share such a painful, heartbreaking yet insightful story. So much love going out to her.

it’s so strange to me that the woman i saw perform in front of a stadium last friday, and then she did it again like a day ago, is just ‘out and about’ the next day. like, she’s not passed out somewhere from exhaustion? when i do anything taxing i need maybe four days to retire and hibernate.
