Hurt by Abortion?
You’re Not Alone.

If you have had an abortion, you may have experienced pain or have trauma as a result. This is a place for you to share your story and hear other’s stories. 

It’s a place for your pain to be validated and understood.

It’s a place where you are not alone in your hurt.

Feel Seen. Others are breaking their silence, You can too. Be Heard.

What is this all about?

For far too long, we have been told that abortion causes no harm to the woman. Yet we have talked to countless women who say different. Their stories range from emotional scars to physical harm.

But because the voices are so loud, their stories have been silenced. So much so, that women often feel afraid or ashamed to admit that they have a past pain or trauma from an abortion.

We are giving women the chance to use their voice – in whatever way they feel most comfortable – and share their story. By coming together, we see that we are not alone. YOU are not alone. And your story matters.

You are in full control here. Read, listen, and leave. Record, type, and share. Whatever allows you to feel the most seen and heard, that’s your path here.

Most of all, know that you’re not alone.
