Abortion Stories from Writers Resist

Unlike the statistics above, our stories help humanize the theme of abortion, and this week we are sharing five of them, in poetry and prose, by Mileva Anastasiadou, Andrea England, Vicki Cohen, Heather Mydosh, and Penny Perry.

Like every piece in the issue, each abortion decision is unique and intimate, and it is owned by only one person, the person who is pregnant.

To those who feel confident they know better than the people to whom the decision belongs, we invite you to learn otherwise, and then join us.

Writers Resist is passionate in our support of reproductive justice—and we are in the majority—but we must do more to assure that across the United States abortion is legal, accessible, and safe for all.
