Some freedoms I have taken for granted: being able to marry my husband (something that would not have been legal before Loving v. Virginia); having the ability to pursue fertility treatments (although IUI did not work for us, I feel certain we conceived because of the vitamins and lifestyle changes my husband implemented while we were in treatment since his sperm analysis went from a little below average to good in a matter of months); having affordable childcare through getting discounted childcare because of working in a preschool where I was able to work and bring my daughter with me (I have worked there since shortly before I found out I was pregnant with her and she has attended school with me since February of 2020- she will start kindergarten and a new school in August 2025).
