After-Abortion Stories

Exhale Pro-Voice holds space for abortion story-sharing - both reading others’ stories and writing your own. Should you chose to add your voice to Exhale Pro-Voice After-Abortion Stories, you remain the writer and owner of your story.

 

Abortion story-sharing can help us to:

-Feel less alone in a shared and stigmatized experience,

-Cultivate empathy and growth, as no two stories are alike,

-And deepen our connections with ourselves and with each other.

 

Abortion story-sharing can help us feel empowered as we take charge of our own narrative. And, abortion story-sharing can be emotional and painful - for both readers and writers. Whether you share your story publicly, anonymously, privately, or only with yourself, you deserve dignity and respect. Your story is powerful - and we are rooting for you every step of the way!
