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 [...]
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 [...]
My Abortion, My Life

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 [...]
Election time makes for a slow news week…
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged abortion, provider experience on October 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
It’s mid-term election time! Some years that means tons of abortion and reproductive justice news to report. This year, thanks to the economy, health care and the Tea Bag Party, it’s a slow news week for those of us interested in reproductive justice. Since there is not much in the way of news to report, [...]
It’s deja vu all over again…

It’s that time of year again…if this sounds familiar, that’s because I posted these 40 Prayers back in February. Now, it’s time for the fall 40 Days of Life campaign and once again our little clinic is at the top of the list for harassment (the beautiful fall weather has really brought out the protesters. [...]

The following transcript of Dr. Carhart’s speech was taken from the super-cool (if you like reproductive justice-y type news) RHRealityCheck website. ************ Reproductive Rights in the 21st Century: The Effects of the Hyde Amendment By Dr. LeRoy Carhart September 2, 2010 – 10:10am Dr. LeRoy Carhart, Medical Director of the Abortion and Contraception Clinic of [...]
Annoying Misconception #4: Abortion is legal, so it’s easy to get one.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged abortion, myths & misconceptions, provider experience on August 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
When legal doesn’t equal accessible. Recently, there has been a lot of news about a phenomenon that abortion providers have know about for quite some time: women using illegal or “underground” methods to cause an abortion rather than going to a clinic or physician. This is no surprise to those of us in abortion care, because when these [...]
Declaration of our Rights
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged abortion, provider experience on June 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve mentioned before on this blog that I have been extremely fortunate in my life as an abortion provider. Generally, when I tell people what I do I’m met with support and words of appreciation and encouragement. It’s rare that I feel threatened or in danger because of my chosen work. That being said, when I [...]
