Meet The Team

Abortion in America was co-founded by former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, author and political strategist Lauren Peterson, and Kaitlyn Joshua, a Louisiana mom who was sent home from two emergency rooms in the midst of a pregnancy loss because of her state’s abortion bans.

What began as a pilot project to record audio and video interviews with Louisianans quickly grew due to the overwhelming response from storytellers and audiences alike. Today, Abortion in America is a national effort with team members working in states across the country.
