Dear Friend,
MomsRising, and members like you, have been taking numerous steps since
receiving the devastating news that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
Wade, making abortion services difficult or impossible to access in many
states. You have been calling members of Congress, pressuring
congressional leaders, governors, and the president to take urgent steps,
donating to abortion funds, and marching in the streets.
[ [link removed] ]Now we need you to share your abortion story with us!
***Share your story about why access to abortion care is important to you!
(You can share anonymously if you would like).
Most women who have abortions are already moms. Being able to manage how
many children we have, and when we have them, has been nothing short of
revolutionary — not just for women and mothers, but for our country as a
whole. Now, with Roe v. Wade overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, that
right has been lost or is at risk in many states, putting in jeopardy our
health, economic stability, and basic liberties. [ [link removed] ]That is why we need
YOU to share your abortion story.
Personal experiences are powerful and can make a HUGE difference in
helping our communities and elected leaders understand how public policies
impact families. Now is the time to share how access or lack of access to
abortion has impacted you and/or someone you love. We know this can be a
difficult story to share for some people, but rest assured, you can share
your story anonymously.
[ [link removed] ]MomsRising is putting together a storybook of abortion stories and
right now we specifically need stories from District of Columbia. Can you
contribute to our storybook by sharing why access to abortion care is
important to you and your family?
People across the country are sharing their stories that are being
included in this storybook. Moms like Kerry who writes:
“I had a non-viable pregnancy before my two children and needed a D and
C.....it was such a painful decision, but it would have been worse had I
not had access to abortion services. I was in my early thirties and
desperately wanted to be a mother. To not have to carry around inside my
body (while so ill) something that would never become my baby was such a
sad relief. I needed care, I got it without question, and was able to heal
so I could go on to carry my eventual two daughters.”
And Alex who writes:
“When I was 25 I got pregnant while on birth control. My boyfriend at the
time helped me schedule an abortion. It was not an emotional experience
for me in any way. I felt very certain that it was the right thing for me
at that time in my life. I have never once regretted my decision.”
[ [link removed] ]**Can we include your abortion story in our storybook as well? (You can
submit your story anonymously if you want.) After you submit your story,
feel free to forward this email or our [ [link removed] ]story collection page to anyone
else that you think might want to share their abortion story with us–we
especially are looking for stories in District of Columbia.
Thank you for all you are doing to make sure all people have access to
safe and affordable abortion care!
