Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) pushed back on Vice President Mike Pence's comments predicting legal abortion in the U.S. would end "in our time."
"Not if we have anything to do with it," Gillibrand, one of several Senate Democrats thought to be considering presidential runs in 2020, tweeted Tuesday. "Get to the polls this November, women. We’re owning our future."

Pence spoke at a luncheon Tuesday in Nashville, Tenn., hosted by Susan B. Anthony List & Life Institution, an anti-abortion organization.
"I know in my heart of hearts this will be the generation that restores life in America," he said during the event.

Inside the Top-Secret Abortion Underground
Code names, top-secret training, and a movement of women determined to avoid the medical establishment.
NINA LISS-SCHULTZMARCH/APRIL 2018 ISSUE
On a summer day in 2015, Renata and more than a dozen women, all strangers from different parts of the country, sat in a semicircle on the living-room floor of a house, deep in the rural South. A lean twentysomething with a wide smile and olive skin, Renata was the only nonwhite person in the group. And she felt conspicuous in other ways too—many of the women struck her as kind of “new agey,” and some had been involved in a “crystal energetics” midwifery program. All of them had big red binders full of worksheets and documents related to the topic at hand: how to help women self-induce an abortion. “My initial thought,” she recalls, “is, ‘What the fuck did I get myself into?'”
Renata had come from Arizona to attend the weeklong training. She learned how, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, white male doctors consolidated their professional power in part by sidelining female and often nonwhite midwives and other community healers. She learned which drugs and herbs induce a miscarriage and where to buy the small, plastic, strawlike instrument that is inserted into the uterus and suctions out an unwanted pregnancy. If problems arise, what should one say to avoid scrutiny at the emergency room? In which states is self-induced abortion, and helping women self-induce, a crime?
