“This is one of the most important issues facing women today”, says Donna Trinkoff. “Sharing real life stories enables us to better understand and empathize with the consequences this historic ruling has had on the men and women that it most impacts. We are happy to do our part raising funds to support the National Abortion Hotline and Choice Matters to help women in need.”
