Listen Later

After navigating the barriers to abortion access, Rachel now faces the emotional weight of the experience—her body, her relationships, and the choices that linger long after the procedure.


As she processes the physical toll of the abortion, a conversation with her mother reveals a hidden family history of reproductive decisions. Meanwhile, her boyfriend’s lack of emotional support forces her to question not only their relationship but the broader societal structures that leave women shouldering the weight of these choices alone.

Hypothetical Baby is by Rachel Cairns.
