South Carolina seems to be the lowest in matters that should be our highest priority. At what "cost" are we going to continue to ignore simple facts. Education and access are key to providing the basic reproductive health needs. Let's get it together lawmakers. I am marching in the Virtual March to make sure my voice is heard.

Science tells us that it takes 3 years to change a reputation, that enough people will have filtered through in three years that a reputation has a chance to change. But we don't have that long to wait. The miracle of life shouldn't be a statistic, it should be joyous and not worrisome! Join the Virtual March and let us change South Carolina's reputation.
