You're the Only One I've Told
Description
At a time where reproductive rights are at risk, these vital stories of diverse individuals serve as a reminder of the importanceofempathy, finding community and motivating advocacy
For a long time, when people asked Dr. Meera Shah,Chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic,what she did, she would tell them she was a doctor and leave it at that.Butwhen she started to be direct about her work as an abortion provideran interesting thing started to happen: one by one, people would confidethat they'd had an abortion themselves.The refrain was often the same:You're the only one I've told.
This book collects these storiesas they've been told to Shah to humanize abortion and to combat myths that persist in the discourse that surrounds it.Awide range of ages, races, socioeconomic factors, and experiences shows that abortion always occurs in a unique context.
Today, a healthcare issue that's so precious and foundational to reproductive, social, and economic freedom for millions of people is exploited by politicians who lack understanding or compassion about the context in which abortion occurs. Stories have the power to break down stigmas and help us to empathize with those whose experiences are unlike our own.
