How am I feeling about Mother’s Day? Angry, worried, disgusted. Maternal mortality rates are rising, especially among women of color. We lack federally subsidized univeral child care. And women are being forced to become mothers against their will, often to the detriment of their health and welfare, in many states. So what I usually do on Mother’s Day is make an extra donation to Planned Parenthood, The Center for Reproductive Rights, and Every Mother Counts. I also ask my representatives in congress to support the Universal Child Care and Early Learning Act. Thanks, and I hope that we can help make things a little better for women not just today but every day.
