In order for any of us to have a taste of reproductive justice, it must be available to all of us.

When I couldn’t make ends meet I took out a high-interest payday loan, told my employer that my grandfather had died, and flew to and from California in less than four days. Over the next several months I struggled to make my loan payments on time. The cost of getting my abortion out of state sent me into a financial tailspin, but I consider myself lucky to have had the means to make it happen at all.

What are we thankful for? All who share their abortion stories unapologetically to let others know they aren't alone.

“I’ve always been adamantly pro-choice, and I know and love people who’ve had abortions. That said, I must admit that there’s been a disconnect between that and a sort of prudish societal influence. The first few times that someone I knew told me they’d had an abortion, it felt like a scandalous secret. I believed that they had nothing to be ashamed of, and I wasn’t worried about them regretting it, but I think I was caught in that narrative of abortion being a controversial topic that isn’t polite to discuss. I was stuck in that notion that it’s always a really difficult decision and no one is proud of it, but sometimes it’s the right thing to do. Working on the project and learning more about the National Network of Abortion Funds has definitely changed that. I remember when I was drawing the image with the banner that reads “I had an abortion,” and I wondered if that was one of the images that was going to be used on a T-shirt. In that short moment I worked through my own bias, moving from feeling intimidated at the idea of someone wearing that T-shirt, to thinking it was brave, to thinking that it shouldn’t have to be brave, it should just be. As I continued to work on the project and then see it come to life, I came to understand that abortion is, as We Testify says, as complex and diverse as the people who have abortions.” - Evie Yapelli, tattoo artist of Show Pigeon Tattoos and We Testify image designer

14 Things You Don't Have To Do When Having An Abortion, Even Though Everyone Says You Do

I'll never forget the day I found out I was pregnant for the very first time. Everything about that day was relatively normal, except for the fact that I felt anything but normal. I knew something was different and, when that pregnancy test confirmed
