I don't want children -- stop telling me I'll change my mind | Christen Reighter

15 min • 24 oktober 2017

From a young age, she knew she didn't kids, in spite of the insistence of many people (including her doctor) who told her she'd change her mind. In this powerful talk, she shares her story of seeking sterilization -- and makes the case that motherhood is an extension of womanhood, not the definition.
