As can be seen from an international breakdown of abortion laws around the world, reproductive justice is a global issue.
Many women do not want to be involved in politics or religion. They simply don't want other telling them what to do with their womb. They simply have a unique personal story that has led to their unwanted pregnancy.
Since we started this web project we realized very quickly that there are millions of reasons why a woman would want to end her pregnancy. Here is a small sampling of the thousands of stories we receive daily from women around the world.
Any person reading these stories, no matter how they feel about abortion will realize what a complicated issue abortion is.
