I share my story because I want my kids to know that talking about abortion doesn't have to happen in hushed tones.

Abortion Advice: I want my kids to know that talking about abortion doesn't have to happen in hushed tones.

How I honor my abortion: I keep talking about it when I can - publicly and privately.

What I wish people knew about abortion: I wish people knew that abortion is just part of a continuum of reproductive health and choices. Pregnancies start and end in different ways, both great and difficult, prompting both joy and pain, often at the same time. It's not black and white or even grey. It just is.

What is your favorite abortion film?
I still really like Obvious Child. It was funny and sweet and didn't overdramatize the experience.

This Is The Perfect Reason To Have An Abortion

There’s a good chance that you support abortion rights if you clicked on this story. You may already suspect that the title of the article is purposely attention-getting and even mildly tongue-in-cheek. You understand that there is no perfect reason to have an abortion; or, rather, that every reason is the perfect reason — as long as the person making the choice was able to decide for themselves, and follow through on that decision without unwanted interference.
