A Commitment to Abortion Storytelling

Write for Rights stands firm in the belief that abortion is healthcare, and that abortion storytelling is vital to our cause. Our mission is to break down the stigma surrounding abortion by sharing authentic, deeply moving narratives that prove abortion saves lives and can be a catalyst for positive change. The decision to have an abortion impacts individuals and families, and this platform showcases tales of courage that serve as reminders that abortion is about the fundamental right to choose. We amplify these messages to confront the rhetoric perpetuated by those who oppose abortion rights.

Within this space, storytellers can find sanctuary. We hold their agency and boundaries in the highest regard, ensuring that each experience is shared with the utmost respect. We acknowledge the inherent uniqueness of every journey and are committed to amplifying every voice.

The stories you'll encounter here are not only touching but transformative. They challenge preconceptions and illuminate the path to a better life, proving that abortion can be a doorway to empowerment. We invite you to share your own abortion story and join a movement that celebrates reproductive freedom. Let’s bring an end to the shame, judgment, and secrecy. Together, we can create a world where stories hold sway, stigma wanes, and compassion prevails.
