True Social Justice & Racial Equity Is Hard Work
The most common form of permanent brokenness I’ve seen in women has to do with pregnancy-related issues. From miscarriages (1-3 pregnancies end with miscarriage) to infertility, to abortions, to pregnancy complications both during and after, every woman that has experienced issues with pregnancy, and that is almost every adult woman […]
