This fact is not so surprising to those of us who work in abortion care. In fact, it’s so unsurprising that we often forget that the image of “that kind of girl”– you know, the one who has an abortion– is generally the opposite of what society defines as a good mother. Fortunately, the good folks at [...]

“Outing” Abortion Providers
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged abortion, provider experience on October 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Everything about this story makes me a little bit nauseous. While I am one of the people who feels pretty comfortable about being an “out” abortion provider, it’s taken me a long time to get comfortable and I still disclose that information on a case-by-case basis in my daily life (of course if you google me, [...]

CHWC is part of a really great organization called the Abortion Care Network. As part of this Network, we get to have really amazing conversations with others in the abortion care community, about best practices, legal challenges and of course the stigma that surrounds abortion care in this country. Most of the time, conversations about [...]

“Forcing a woman to divulge to a stranger at a pregnancy help center the fact that she has chosen to undergo an abortion humiliates and degrades her as a human being,” — Federal Court Judge Karen Schreier For the past several months we’ve been watching some ridiculous, unnecessary and potentially unconstitutional laws make their way [...]
School Days

It didn’t take long for folks at the clinic to realize that I love nothing more than the sound of my own voice and to talk about abortion all day and all night. So when the “high school abortion days” came around, it wasn’t a big surprise that they got turfed to me. Now you [...]
Singing Our Truth #3- La Femme Fetal
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged abortion, Singing Our Truth, TV/Media on March 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I was in the 8th grade the first time I heard this song that addresses many of the intersecting issues (race, gender and class) that surround reproductive justice in America. My friend Nicole played it in class that year and it was one of the first times I remember really understanding the power that music [...]

Preterm, an amazing abortion provider in Ohio, has just launched its “My Abortion, My Life” campaign to decrease stigma and normalize abortion. It’s a courageous campaign that encourages the 45 million women who have accessed abortion care in this country to speak out and tell their story. When you consider that 1 in 3 American [...]
Criminal acts are NOT the norm.

You may have seen news reports last week about a physician in Philadelphia who was arrested and charged with several counts of murder (along with a laundry list of other charges) after a search of his abortion clinic found the remains of babies and fetuses and evidence that he had been responsible for the death of [...]
Singing our Truth #2: Brick
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged abortion, Singing Our Truth, TV/Media on November 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I love this song. Everytime I hear it I think about a particular teenage couple that I counseled several years ago. Which leads us to the how universal all the complex feelings surrounding these decisions can be. But I’ll let Ben Folds speak for himself about that: “People ask me what this song’s about… I was asked [...]
Singing Our Truth #1: Amendment

Music is a really amazing way to communicate—feelings, ideas, stories and of course, politics. This weekend I went to see Ani DiFranco play at the Keswick theatre. I’ve been an Ani fan since high school and I’ll never forget the first time I saw her live; I was overwhelmed by being in a space with [...]
