Author Robin Marty interviews reproductive rights activists in conservative areas for Cosmopolitan: “I don’t know if it’s ever easy to be an activist, but I do think red-state work is important because we’ve gotten into this rut on the left of thinking that it’s perfectly acceptable for there to be certain states where you can be super-liberal and have awesome civil rights, and that people who don’t live in those states are somehow choosing to live in more oppressive environments.”
