Hundreds of people are sharing their reproductive health stories to protest the likely fall of Roe v. Wade
— not only about pregnancy, but about sexual assault, harassment, abortion, and the myriad decisions that come with having a uterus.
But, Lena said, “we shouldn’t have to be hurt to be heard. It’s infuriating to me that some people think women or people with uteruses only have the rights to their body when they’re violated.” The key, Matthews says, is making room for all the emotions that can come with an abortion, like all the complicated feelings she has toward her own: Relief, loss and grief, anger, shame, guilt, joy, love, community, connection, a strengthened bond of motherhood. “The only expert on any given abortion is the person having it,” Matthews said. While abortion stories can erode stigma around them, Matthews said no one should feel they need to justify their abortion.
