Today we’re talking about abortion. The topic holds significant relevance right now because of the leaked draft from the Supreme Court, which threatens to overturn Roe v Wade. One in four women will get an abortion over the course of her reproductive life yet it’s rarely talked about. The taboo nature of it can make it feel shameful even if our beliefs say otherwise. So today we’re layout out statistics, Em’s sharing her story & we’re sharing perspective that we hope will continue a larger conversation & help other women feel less alone. Enjoy
