Abortion rights supporters champion Crawford at Wisconsin Capitol rally

Wendy Riester had an abortion 50 years ago. At the time, she had an IUD which became dislodged, requiring her to get an abortion after her doctor said she had a 95% chance of death from infection. 

“I was 23 years old, newly married. To me there was no question. I got an abortion. Now women don’t have that choice. I would have died in a parking lot. Instead, I’ve lived a good life. I’ve got three children, two grandchildren,” Riester told The Daily Cardinal. “I want other women to live too.”
