This is great! My 6yo asked me last week why I kept looking at my phone and seeming upset, so we got real into it on this topic. They agreed they if I got pregnant now, I should get an abortion, cause they don't want more siblings :) one thing that came up in discussing how different states have had different laws and it will even be more like that now, is that my son said oh so it'll be fine here? (In california). Then we got to talk about how Injustice anywhere is Injustice everywhere and that was rad.
This is so helpful! I haven't talked about it with my 5yo and wasn't really sure yet if I would. A while ago she asked if we would have a third baby, and when I said no, she asked how my body knows that I don't want any more babies. So maybe that is a place to start ... I hate that I have to explain women losing freedom to my daughter.

Thanks for writing this - it’s very helpful, especially for my 10-year-old. And congrats to your husband on the Pulitzer!
