What's Her Story?
The Guttmacher Institute’s Abortion Patient Survey estimates that one in four (24.7%) US women of reproductive age will have an abortion by age 45 if the 2020 abortion rate remains constant. Every number in every statistic represents a woman with a story individual to herself.
Ali Newby
Has had two abortion before the age of 23, and her second one was incomplete, causing her weeks of pain and distress.
Kaitlyn Joshua
Was refused treatment while miscarrying, and sent home with no clear understanding of what was happening to her body.
Valerie Boss
Got pregnant when she was 21 before she graduated college, and chose to raise the baby on her own.
Hadley Duvall
Was sexually abused by her step-father beginning at five, and impregnated by him when she was 12. She had a miscarriage after being given a choice.
“I wondered if I was going to die because I was bleeding so much...I wanted to scrub off my skin and get inside of new skin. It was so humiliating, and I was so alone.”
