Community Post šŸ—£ Tell Us About Your Abortion

by Jun 24, 2022Reader Replies

In most of the world, abortion access is getting easier and safer. It is a basic healthcare need for millions of women, girls and others who can become pregnant. On June 24th, 2022, a United States Supreme Court decision effectively overturned Roe v Wade, a 1973 case that established the constitutional right to an abortion.

I find during overwhelming events, when I feel like Iā€™ve lost my power or my voice (or Iā€™m filled with rage or sadness), connecting to other people one-on-one and sharing stories helps me to find my way again. We would like to hear from you, our community of parents, caretakers, and soon-to-be-parents. We are opening up comments below to hear your stories.

If you leave a comment with your name, your name will be listed (you can use a nickname). If you’d like to be anonymous instead, then make sure to log out if you’re logged in and use the name Anonymous with the email address comments@startupparent.com and the website startupparent.com to leave a comment anonymously.Ā 

Share with us:

  • How has access (or lack of access) to abortion affected your life, work, or family?
  • What was your abortion like? What do you wish other people would know about abortion?
  • What stories aren’t told about abortion that you wish were shared more?
  • What are you feeling today, and do you have any vents or frustrations you want to let out? You’re welcome to, here.

Our community guidelines: we start with the words “In my experience,” because there are hundreds of stories and ways of being. We are interested in hearing your personal stories. If this thread becomes unwieldy or subject to spam, we will block comments and/or shut it off.
