You made a comment on an article all about you and how it makes you feel and had the gall to tell the author to change it because of your own reaction. Kind of crazy your first inclination was to dish out a criticism but can't handle that it's being returned to you.

Thank you Jia, and thank you, Elizabeth. Telling and publishing these stories is vital to keeping abortion safe and legal. We need more of our stories out there.
