Hadley Duvall, whose perseverance after being raped and impregnated at age 12 by her stepfather transformed her into a national advocate for restoring abortion access, was named this week as one of Glamour’s Women of the Year .
Duvall miscarried, but she otherwise would have chosen to get an abortion, calling the alternative of carrying the pregnancy to term “unthinkable.”
The 22-year-old Owensboro native gained prominence in 2023 after tell her story in a campaign ad for Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.
The magazine named Duvall and Louisiana’s Kaitlyn Joshua together in their own category as two women who both experienced miscarriages and, in Joshua’s case, received delayed medical care during her pre-term labor because of her state’s strict abortion ban.
Both women spoke at the Democratic National Convention about the importance of restoring the full gamut of reproductive rights nationwide.
