There’s a gaping hole in most abortion care
and it’s time we fill it in.
To kick start 2021 I invited the best expertise
in the field of mental health to join our podcast community.
Year one of the Speaking Light Into Abortion Podcast
was a smashing success and we’re just getting started!
Reproductive health care is in need of a revolution
and we are a part of the recovery.
Every time we talk about abortion we create connection,
break down the stigma,
and increase access to care.
Our stories matter.
The way we talk about abortion,
the space we hold to allow feelings,
the beliefs we choose to live by,
our willingness to see and be seen,
THIS is our revolution.
THIS is our recovery.
