John,
For years, anti-abortion activists (and even some pro-choice leaders and politicians) have painted abortion as sad, painful, shameful, and heartbreaking. They’ve rehashed old sayings like “nobody wants an abortion” or the idea that abortion is always a “devastating choice” to make.
But these adjectives don’t fit with the reality of abortion. Give now to spread better narratives about abortion.
In fact, research confirms that most people feel relief after having an abortion, with 99 percent saying it was the right choice for them, five years later. [1] We would even take it a step further and say access to abortion isn’t just about relief, it’s about love.
Abortion is about love for the person you are and the person you want to be. Love for the life you want to lead. Love for the family you’ve made or found that you want to have. Today, we celebrate that love. Join us with a gift to Reproaction.
We are going to drag these dangerous, old ideas about abortion into the new day, one filled with love and light. Because that’s what abortion can bring a person.
Sincerely,
Shireen Shakouri
Deputy Director, Reproaction
P.S. We love love. We love abortion. We love donations.
