Her adoptive parents would never have wanted her taken from her mom, highlighting the trauma inflicted on women who dared to give birth outside marriage. While some argue politicians shouldn’t share such intimate histories, Gilbert’s courage proves it matters: leaders with lived experience make better, more compassionate policy. Her testimony, and the stories behind it, remind us that understanding painful pasts is essential to building a fairer future for all.
