George Pyle: Sorry, Holly. Republicans aren’t doing anything to reduce the number of abortions.

Holly Richardson has more of a right to lament the number of abortions in the nation and the world than just about anybody. Her family has adopted and/or provided a foster home to more children than were in my first-grade class. To say she went out of her way to adopt children nobody else would care for is not just a figure of speech. She went to eight countries.

She’s been to Bangladesh twice in recent months to try to offer some aid and comfort to refugees from the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. And, when she’s stuck in dull old Utah, she speaks up for the idea that women and girls should get an education and fully participate in politics and other aspects of public life.
