There is no role for the state in these decisions. I walked through fire for my girls & I would do it again in a heartbeat, but that is a decision for every person to make on their own. If I didn't want children so desperately, I would have made a different, reasonable choice.

YES! My co-author, ER doc, and friend! Check out our The Atlantic piece, which might have been the first to make the argument that the Biden administration should create the exact policy it did. That policy is now before the Supreme Court. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Doctors should not face criminal penalties for doing their jobs and providing emergency care and patients shouldn’t be deprived of this care. That’s what Greer Donley, Kimi Chernoby and I told TIME when the cases were in the lower courts time.com/6208656/aborti…

Once again, the anti-abortion movement is exploiting disability to argue their position. But make no mistake: abortion bans cause real harm to disabled people. We need to center the voices and experiences of the disability community in this debate. thehill.com/opinion/health…

Congratulations Jill Wieber Lens! Iowa Law is so lucky to have you!

I'll never get over the amazingness of brainstorming an idea w David S. Cohen & Rachel Rebouche in fall 2021, turning it into an op-ed, helping state legislators draft a real law six months later, and watching those laws spread, improve, and help people access care. nytimes.com/2024/02/22/hea…
