This Is My Abortion

One woman bravely documented her abortion at 6 weeks of pregnancy, demonstrating that the imagery put forward by the religious right is not accurate of all abortions.  Warning: these images are gory, but truth and clarity win overall.

My intention in documenting and sharing my abortion is to demystify the sensationalist images propagated by the religious and political right on this matter. The images of lifeless fetuses are used as propaganda in the prolife/prochoice debate in which individual women and their bodies are used as pawns to push a cultural, political, and religious agenda in the United States.

At 6 weeks of pregnancy, my abortion looked very different than the images I saw when I entered the clinic that day.
