A postcard from the Netherlands. She writes, "In the Netherlands we have a "Movement" that promotes "baas in eigen buik." In English: "Masters of our own belly." This is the first card I've received from a male writer.
From Wikipedia: "Abortion in the Netherlands was fully legalized on November 1, 1984, allowing abortions to be done on-demand up to the 24th week of the pregnancy. Abortion for "serious medical reasons" can be performed after 24 weeks. There is a mandatory five-day waiting period for abortions done after your menstrual period is 17 days overdue."
