Abortion Comics
Comics For Choice
Comics for Choice is an anthology of comics about abortion. Cartoonists and illustrators have teamed up with activists, historians, and reproductive justice experts to create comics about their diverse personal stories, the history of abortion, the current politics, and more.
The anthology has been honored with the Ignatz Award for Outstanding Anthology, and nominated for an Eisner Award, for the short story "Small Mistakes Make Big Problems."
Self Managed Abortion Comics
For centuries, people have self-managed their abortions—some methods worked while others did not. As time has passed, and medical innovation and access to healthcare has changed, our self-managed abortion experiences have too. Although we now have safer methods than we have had in the past, self-managed abortion is still very misunderstood, stigmatized, and criminalized, particularly for people of color, immigrants, and others. It’s time we have open conversations about why people self-manage their abortions and make sure they have safe access to compassionate and loving care on their own terms.
To change the conversation, the We Testify abortion storytellers partnered with artists who’ve had abortions to illustrate their stories and help more people understand why and how someone might choose to self-manage their abortion. We invite you to read through our stories and learn more about why we chose to self-manage our abortions.
