Harriett Stinson, abortion rights pioneer |
Harriett Stinson, who is 85, recently spoke publicly for the first time about the illegal abortion that she had in her 20's. Stinson founded Republican Women for Choice and founded Planned Parenthood in the bay area and has long been a reproductive rights and abortion rights activist. She came forward about her experience because she's worried that the Republican Party is pushing a conservative line against family planning and abortion, and that we will end up having abortion be illegal again. Stinson wants to encourage more women to share their stories.
