Jessica, I thank you so much for all your kindness, advocacy, hard work on behalf of women everywhere. Honestly, your testimony brings me to tears. Your efforts on behalf of all women, and the men who share our cause, are so appreciated.
Thank you so much for your incredible bravery in leading this fight. In 1976, I attended a conference while visibly pregnant, and volunteered to sign a pro-choice petition. I was told, "I'm surprised you are signing the petition." My reply? "I CHOOSE to have this baby, and it would have also been MY CHOICE to terminate the pregnancy! " And I feel the same way today.
Jessica! Finally had time to watch this moving and brave testimony. Boundless gratitude for your voice and grace on behalf of all of us and future generations of women. Respect ✊🏻 🙏🏻❤️
You make an excellent point that Republicans had 50 years to figure out their laws would kill women, they knew, and they strategized for it - what concerns me is they had to know this would be unpopular. They lost the ballot measure in Kansas, and now boldly plan to ignore the ballot measure and pass a statewide ban anyway, the same can be said of Ohio lawmakers - they seem to have absolutely no fear of the voting public. And that scares the absolute hell of out me because I have to ask myself, "Why?"; why don't they fear the voting public?
Your remarks were thoughtful and articulate and deeply moving. The whole panel was stellar. And my favorite part . . . Dr. Dennard casually nursing her baby as she replied to questions posed by the Senators. Truly, we do it all.
I loved your prepared remarks, especially when you said " my 13 year old daughter is in the room, and it’s her first time in Washington. Yet somehow, she’s here with less rights than I had thirty two years ago. And I think we should be ashamed of that". You inspire me everyday!
This is what the abortion rights movement has needed for a long time; a voice that is unafraid to tell the whole truth and lay the facts bare, instead of tiptoeing around the politics and conceding ground.
This is excellent, just absolutely flawless. Well done Jessica, and thank you for so eloquently and intelligently conveying this message to the people in Washington. I know you’re not in this for the glory, but you are making a difference and influencing people every day with your work. Thank you again.
Wow. Thank you for your brilliant testimony--in Washington and every day with us. I am so grateful for the work you do and the community you have brought together.

Thank you for your incredible testimony and speaking truth to power. Across the world, we are seeing both an expansion of women’s reproductive rights but also a contraction in some autocratic countries. If we don’t continue to fight, to advocate and VOTE LIKE OUR RIGHTS DEPEND ON IT, women being treated like livestock will truly be our reality.
You really were wonderful today. Everything you said was true. I have both Roman Catholic and Evangelical relatives who hold the positions you describe. They are immovable in
their determination to establish their beliefs into a national, total abortion ban. They will never change. We must protect our daughters and granddaughters by defeating religious extremists at the ballot box.
Excellent testimony Jessica! I hope that there were Republicans in the room while you made these remarks.

Beautifully said, for all of us.

From walking uteruses.....to walking coffins.

Because you have!
Did you not love Senator Shumer quoting MLK!

The GOP are afraid... McEnany wants them to show compassion. Yeah, that will do the trick (No).
