As a professional writer, I want to say 'congrats', but that doesn't seem right.

I mean, it's some brilliant writing, but I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry anybody does.

I just felt I needed to speak up. It's gotten better in NC; not a lot, but there are much better referrals now, and Planned Parenthood had 3 mobile care units travelling the state to get to the women in the remote and under served areas. And I was so angry when they slipped that bit into the budget. I had to say something.

That was very well written.

I am sorry you had to go through that.
