About us

Abortion in America is a new national effort to support storytelling that shows the impact of abortion bans on people’s lives.

When Roe v. Wade was overturned, Americans lost a right essential to our health, lives, and opportunities.

Since then, brave people have come forward to share stories of being unable to access prenatal care, forced to travel hundreds of miles for abortion care, or left with no option but to give birth. Health care providers have spoken out about the challenges of treating their patients, family members have given voice to the pain and trauma of watching a loved one struggle after being denied care, and faith leaders have underscored the importance of standing up for dignity and freedom in this unprecedented moment.

Research shows that personal stories about the harm caused by abortion bans have the power to change hearts and minds, and build public support for reproductive freedom.

abortioninamerica.org is a new online home for stories about abortion post-Roe — stories of a heartbreaking loss of rights as well as stories of resilience and determination.

Look around, explore the stories, and share them with people in your life to start a conversation that could make a difference.
