I'm about to have a birthday.

Want to mark it in some significant way?

At this point, there’s nothing you can buy me that I don’t already have two of, but if you’d like to mark the day (I will be 63 on Sunday, July 31), I’d appreciate it if you’d donate to the REACH Fund of Connecticut.

REACH (Reproductive Equity, Access & CHoice) — which I wrote about here — is raising an initial $50,000 to pay clinics to provide abortion services for women who can’t afford the services on their own. As always, bad judicial (legislative and executive branch) decisions always fall hardest on the poor and the vulnerable. Let’s see if we can bend that arc, just a little.

And thank you for considering it.
