Quotes
[edit]- It’s us who carry the pregnancy to term, us alone! We have to decide whether we want to get pregnant or not!
- If you’re a woman, you may be denied contraception, simply because you don’t have your husband’s permission. And if you do manage to get contraception, you may be forced to use it in secret for fear of being accused of adultery by your partner or in-laws – just because you want to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
- If you’re a rape survivor, pregnant as a result of that assault, you must pay for your own emergency medical care – something that is out of reach for most victims.
