It's a hard time right now for us [ women ] and I want to speak directly to the men, we need y' all. We need y' all to stand up for us, stand up with us. If you've ever benefited from a woman making one of the toughest decisions of her life, which is to terminate a pregnancy, you need to be standing with us.
