Abortion is a deeply personal and sometimes complex decision. Politicians shouldn’t be making decisions about your body for you. But that hasn’t stopped them from trying. And now, the courts have failed us.
WHO SHOULD SHARE THEIR STORY?
If you care about abortion, you have a story to share. If you've had an abortion, been a patient escort, driven a loved one to an appointment, lent money to someone for an abortion, provided child care during a friend's appointment, or supported a loved one through their abortion in other ways, that's a story. You can also share why you advocate for abortion access in general, and as we all know: this is about more than abortion. This is the moment to inspire each other and remind people that have had abortions and who will get abortions that their decision is valid — #WhateverTheReason.

2. SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
If you need some inspo, you can find graphics and share links in our digital swag kit.
When you share your story on social media, use the hashtag #WhateverTheReason — because there are no "bad" reasons to get an abortion. Nearly one in four women (statistic from non-disaggregated data) in America will have an abortion by age 45. Every day, people across the country make their own decisions about their pregnancies for reasons that are deeply personal. Politics has no place in these decisions, and all of their stories deserve respect.
