Reminder: Abusive parents exist and that sometimes includes mothers. You are under no obligation to honor abusive parents, and you don't deserve to feel any shame or guilt about it. Abuse is never the victim's fault.

Hopefully this day will not be too painful, sad, or uncomfortable. You deserve a nice quiet, peaceful day too.

Like many people, I have two parents. My father is an electrical engineer who taught me all about computers, language, math, and music.

My mother was trained in information science, and is an entrepreneur, publisher, writer, educator and consummate networker.

She taught me how to forge my own path in the world, to develop a unique voice, do what fulfills me, and become whatever I want — based on my inherent curiosity and values.

Strong women are the best role models! #mothersday

If you can't choose whether to become a mom, with all its risks, #MothersDay is a cruel joke.

States enacting abortion restrictions increased their maternal mortality rate by 38%.

States with the toughest abortion laws have the weakest maternal supports.

Two of the women in the Turnaway Study DIED from giving birth after they were denied abortions.

What impact did being denied an abortion have on families who already had children? I think it's often surprising to people who don't think about abortion very much that people who seek abortions are often already parents. Sixty percent of people nationally who have abortions are already mothers, and they give as a reason for wanting to have an abortion that they need to take care of the kids they already have. And when we look at the well-being of those existing children, we see differences based on whether their mom received or was denied an abortion for their subsequent pregnancy. So those kids whose mothers were denied abortions are less likely to achieve developmental milestones such as language and gross motor, fine motor skills. What does this research add to the discussion of Roe v. Wade? The Turnaway Study was not designed with this moment in mind, because in my worst nightmares, I did not imagine that we would see an end of Roe so quickly. But what The Turnaway Study shows is that people who become pregnant and are unable to get a safe, legal abortion in their state, those that carry the pregnancy to term will experience long-term physical health and economic harm. We haven't become a more generous country that supports

I photographed this deer and her two spotted fawns dining on the greenery next to the vet's in the middle of town where I used to live. There was so much wildlife around there, that kind of sight wasn't uncommon.

This family was enjoying a tasty meal of reeds when I happened upon them. The that eats together, stays together...or so the saying goes. All my images are available as cards too, just in case you're looking for a Mother's Day card.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there, except for Shaft, who apparently is a bad mother.
