“I loved it and the groups of gals I went with loved it, too.  The people I went with were all NYU students -- myself included.   It’s amazing how hyper-political abortion is right now….  Thank you for showing it -- it was a wonderful way to celebrate Roe’s anniversary.  I’d love to see it for a second time!”

Words of Choice was truly a blessing.  It motivated me to keep organizing in my community, made me realize that there are people in other parts of the country who haven't forgotten that there are grassroots organizers in the Midwest.  The play was inspirational, the actors were phenomenal.  It was a night not to be forgotten, Kansas will never been the same, and I will never think about reproductive choice in the same way again.  -- Student, K-State
