The Salt Lake Tribune
Did these LDS women have abortions? Depends on whom you ask.
Synopsis
Stigma around the word “abortion” still looms strongly among community members in the Church of Latter-Day Saints, writes Tamarra Kemsley of The Salt Lake Tribune. She spoke to Mormon women who had abortions who felt that their stories showed, in the words of one interviewee, that there are “3 trillion shades of gray” when it comes to abortion and pregnancy care. For all of the women, the heightened visibility of abortion care post-Roe changed how they viewed their own experiences.
