I am haunted by the memory of a very young, pregnant girl I met at a clinic in Kisumu, Kenya. She had been raped. Her mother had brought her to the clinic saying she had a stomachache. The girl stared at the floor and didn't speak. No one told the girl that terminating the pregnancy was an option, even though there was an abortion clinic literally across the road. Looking at her tiny frame, I wondered if she would survive a pregnancy.
Terry McGovernI was witnessing the Trump administration's handiwork. Kenya had liberalized its abortion law in an effort to reduce maternal mortality, but the country's decision and that girl's choice was effectively overridden by our government. Time and again, President Donald Trump and his administration have taken the political stance that it is they who should control the bodies of women and girls.
