I wrote this story from the perspective of someone living through a memory. You can read the short story for yourself on my website. Trigger warning: This is the story about the effects of childhood trauma and includes themes of sexual abuse.
In this timely episode, I share poems written before or shortly after the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. First I read "The Abortion" by Anne Sexton (1963). Then "The Mother" by Gwendolyn Brooks (1945), and I finish my reading with the powerful "Right To Life" by Marge Piercy (1980).
