1 in 4 women will have an abortion in her lifetime. That number doesn’t lie — but the silence around it tries to.
Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures in the country. It is not rare. It is not shameful. It is not something that happens to “other people.” It happens to women in every zip code, every income bracket, every family.
The silence is not because abortion is uncommon. The silence is because we were taught to be quiet about it. And that silence is exactly what keeps women feeling alone in a moment when they are anything but.
