“I myself, when I was about 22 or 23 years old, raped when I lived here in New York. I was completely alone. In fact, I felt so alone that I had to take a pregnancy test in a public bathroom in downtown Manhattan. When I sat there waiting for the result, all I could think about was: Thank God I have at least one choice. Thank God I could, at least, have the freedom to choose fate. I did not know then, as I expected, that it would come out negative. But it does not matter … This is for all of us. This is not an issue for women’s rights. This is an issue for all of us. “he told the assembled crowd.
