"By presenting a collection of nuanced narratives, Shout Your Abortion aims to advance a message of broader acceptance: If your abortion experience was hard and sad, that's okay. If your abortion experience wasn't hard or sad, that's also okay. This marks a significant tonal shift in the cultural conversation about abortion." --Catlin Gibson, Washington Post, For decades, taking down Planned Parenthood has been a pet project of America's anti-choice legislators. In 2015, after Congressional Republicans failed in their attempt to defund the nation's largest women's-healthcare provider, Seattle activist Amelia Bonow posted on Facebook that she wanted to hear women refuse to be ashamed of their abortions. Less than two weeks later, Bonow's friend Lindy West created the Twitter hashtag #ShoutYourAbortion, and within days more than 150,000 tweets used the hashtag just as Bonow had hoped. Three years later, as the Trump administration sets its sights on repealing Roe v. Wade, talking about abortion without shame is more vital than ever, and Shout Your Abortion , a collection of 43 personal accounts curated by Bonow, feels timely and crucial.
