1 in 3 American women will have an abortion in her lifetime. Women with families, jobs, friends, hopes, and dreams. Yet the barrage of misinformation about abortions and the women who have them has created a culture of shame and secrecy associated with this experience.
Abortion stigma is all around us. We hear it in the silence when a woman doesn't tell her friend about her abortion for fear of judgment. We see it in the media every time a woman who has an abortion is portrayed as selfish. We see it in hospitals that exclude abortion care from their range of medical services for fear of protest. We see it in the constant bombardment of laws and policies that target abortion providers and restrict access to abortion services.
Help break the cycle of silence, shame, and stigma surrounding abortion. Add your voice, and tell women across Ohio:
We respect you.
We trust you.
We support your decisions.
