1 in 4 women have had an abortion. Many people think they don't know someone who has, but #youknowme. So let's do this: if you are also the 1 in 4, let's share it and start to end the shame. Use #youknowme and share your truth

The #youknowme hashtag contains a lot of deeply powerful testimonials but it just kills me that every time something awful is happening, women have to air out their traumas to make you see us as people.

I was fortunate enough to be born gay, so pregnancy wasn’t an issue for me even in my wildest days.

I didn’t hear about this event in her life until recently. She said my aunt “knew someone,” and that’s who she went to... this someone’s house. Was in the early ‘60’s. I’m so grateful nothing went wrong.
