Destigmatize Abortion On & Off Screen | Pt. 1: The History

TW: r*pe, s*xual & reproductive ab*se, m*tilation, sl*very, g*nocide, r*cism, anti-Blackness, ableism, classism

In this 2 part series, I'll be exploring the evolution of anti-abortion stigma.

In part 1, I share my experience with abortion and explore the roots of anti-abortion rhetoric and policy in America.

In part 2, I'll examine how the media has both reaffirmed and subverted the negative connotations associated with the procedure over time.

Feel free to add to this discussion! I'd love to chat more with y'all on this topic. But please do not be rude or shame anyone in the comments.

If there have ever been any abortion portrayals in media that have stood out to you, let me know why in the comments!
