Abortion is a choice that an estimated one in four women in the U.S. make, and far more consider. However, the stigma surrounding abortion has been so pervasive that women have buried these stories deep within their hearts for decades. Abortion has become so demonized that it's now the new Scarlet Letter in the U.S. and we're at a point where a woman's right to choose is in jeopardy.

This ongoing series hopes to humanize abortion by opening up a safe space for women across this country to share their abortion story - often for the first time ever. Women who choose abortions are our sisters, mothers, friends, colleagues and daughters. It's time we treat them - and their experiences - with dignity and respect.
