Ethical issues: abortion & birth control

Elizabeth Kissling, Ph.D., offers an overview of four groups who are raising consciousness about the fact that 1 in 3 women in America have had an abortion- #ShoutYourAbortion, Lady Parts Justice, We Testify, and Abortion Diaries.

Abortion remains legal in the US, but access has been slowly eroded since prohibition was ruled unconstitutional nearly fifty years ago. Simultaneously abortion remains culturallystigmatised- it is kept secret and presumed shameful. But feminist activists are working to increase access and challenge this stigma.

Numerousorganisationsand campaigns are challenging abortion stigma using the internet and social media and intersectional feminist sensibilities.

From A Whisper to a Shouttakes a closer look at four of theseorganisations- #ShoutYourAbortion, Lady Parts Justice, #WeTestify, and The Abortion Diary - and how they are integrating feminist tactics, social media, and political strategies to challenge abortion stigma and promote abortion access.
