“I didn't feel like, oh, I need to call my lawyer or anything like that. I felt like I was totally with it. And then I did the breathalyzer and I can't remember exactly what number I blew, but it was like, I think, two times the legal limit. And I thought, this machine is broken.”
When Abby retired from professional soccer in 2015, she was a two-time Olympic gold medalist, World Cup champion, and the all-time leader in goal scoring for the U.S. Women’s National Team. Today, she is also known for her speaking, activism, and writing.

Oh my, how that tugged at my heart. Hearing the Lutheran church in the 1960s tell me I wasn't right because I was gay. I loved the faith and Lutheran doctrine and rights, but left the church at 19. I always felt such a deep loss. I wandered in the wilderness for the next 30 years. I never believed God condemned me. But, oh boy, the church sure did!!!
