Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Even with the extensive family support, I accrued over $225,000 in student loans to afford medical school tuition alongside daycare, food and clothing expenses, which has ballooned to over $300,000 over the last seven years of payments.
55% : To America, I say: not one single step of my journey benefitted from the "advocacy" of most so-called pro-lifers, who are often the first to criticize any Black family on government assistance while staying silent on the need to dismantle structural racism.
53% : As I nervously flipped the yellow pages to adoption agencies, I first came across a different option: abortion.
45% : Voter turnout in Kansas's primary elections exceeded expectations with voters on both sides of the aisle opting to uphold the right to abortion.
38% : Abortion was not the option most consistent with my values, but as an aspiring physician, I did not want to become the next statistic of a Black woman who failed to reach her full career and income potential due to family obligations.
38% : The future of abortion: Here's what happens to a victimized child when the singular focus is on saving babies
35% : No consensus among religions: No room for religious liberty in abortion debate?
