I didn’t plan it like this, it just so happened that the day before I was supposed to get my abortion was the last day of school, so my second grader needed to be picked up at 12:30, sticky with Oreos and popsicles from the end-of-the-year party, but my almost 5 year old was still booked in pre-school till 3:30.

I have a daughter and I am constantly asked when baby #2 is coming

As a mother of three, I can’t help wondering what future my children can expect to have. Climate change, ocean acidification, deforestation, and species extinction will radically alter the planet they inherit. Still, I don’t regret becoming a mother.
