The ability to decide whether and when to have children is essential to allowing people to control their own lives and futures. For many, having access to affordable abortion care opens the door to fulfilling educational and career goals, better parenting, staying true to gender identities, and other critical parts of life that everyone should have the ability to choose for themselves. No politician should make those decisions for us.

This month, we’re launching a storytelling series in partnership with We Testify, an organization devoted to uplifting the voices of people who have had abortions. No two abortion stories are the same, just as no two bodies are the same, but our storytellers share one thing in common: the liberation they experienced as a result of their abortion.

We Testify is an organization dedicated to the leadership and representation of people who have abortions. We Testify unapologetically believes that people who have abortions are our future. We believe that everyone who has abortions deserves unconditional love and support. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for. Read more at wetestify.org.

This year, abortion is under fire like never before. Multiple abortion cases have been heard recently by the Supreme Court, which could gut or overturn Roe v. Wade while an onslaught of abortion bans continues to sweep states.

This fight is urgent, and to better prepare ourselves we must learn all we can about the landscape and history of abortion rights — from the pre-Roe era all the way to today. Test your knowledge here.
