Overview
Many believe that encouraging more women to speak out about their abortions to their friends and acquaintances could move those friends’ and acquaintances’ political views in the pro-choice direction. This grant supports a pilot project being launched by Exhale, an organization by and for women who have had abortions, to learn both how to support women in sharing these stories and whether hearing a personal story from a friend who has had an abortion makes the listener more supportive of abortion rights.
