Abortion law is a human right. We need courageous leaders. That's her!
I don't know Rebecca Gomperts personally. I do know the fight for legal abortion. And that is unmistakable! To continue that fight, you need a lot of strength and perseverance. It is to continue against a lot of violence and obstruction and to be a safe beacon for women in need. I know that Rebecca makes a structural contribution to that.
