An invitation to join the Abortion Actually Project
Abortion Actually is a multinational collaboration working to demystify the abortion process by making and sharing images and audio of abortion as it is, actually.We believe that the new frontier in abortion stigma is the abortion process itself. For many of us, the first time we learn what an Abortion Actually entails is when we are confronted with the decision of whether or not to end a pregnancy. Conversations around abortion rarely focus on the practical aspects of doing an abortion. ...

Lou’s Abortion Story
Hello.
I’m writing this review specifically about episode 24, Lou’s abortion story.
Thank you for posting this. Thank you so much. I bawled listening to this episode, because finally I found someone who told my story. Everything she said in this podcast I lived through, as she spoke I could close my eyes and relive the exact moments she spoke of.
I’m only 20 years old, and it’s been about two months since my procedure.
It wasn’t my choice, it was everyone else’s.
I felt alone, and I still do.
I’m heart broken, and me and my partners relationship has deteriorated since the procedure.
Because I can’t deal with it on my own, I’ve decided to seek therapy.
So far it feels amazing speaking to someone who doesn’t try to reassure me that it was for the best, and that I need to move on.
I wish there was a way for me to get my story out there somehow, because as she said in this podcast, you don’t find stories like these. But there’s plenty woman who deals with these circumstances.
I cannot thank you enough for posting this podcast.
Praying I can heal from this. Healing is a process in itself, and I wish the pain could go away faster, but in due time. 💗🙏🏾
Compassionate & Informative
I listened to nearly every episode of this podcast in the weeks leading up to my abortion last year. The information shared made me feel that abortion was normal, and I felt less alone and afraid. My abortion ended up being a positive experience, one that I am proud of. This podcast supported me in getting to that place of empowerment.
My Favorite Podcast
