This is me 12 years ago, a week after my abortion - long before I’d ever dreamed about publishing a book, much less this one. I was so relieved. But I didn’t talk about my abortion to almost anyone for an entire 5 years afterwards because I struggled with such deeply rooted shame and embarrassment. It took me years to start talking about abortion at all, and then more years to start talking about my own. That seems unimaginable to me now, and I’m proud of that. But I’m also so proud of this younger version of me. For prioritizing myself - my dreams, my life. I hope to help other people feel OK about doing the same, whatever that looks like for them. So, I wrote this book for us - people who have abortions. This is for you if you’re having an abortion today, had one 30 years ago, or are simply trying to figure out what to do. It is for young people and older people. For people who feel comfortable talking about their abortion already, and for people who have never said abortion out...
