Abortion and reproductive health stories: Destigmatize with your narrative. NCJW in partnership with Jewish Women's Archive

As abortion access is under siege, it is more important than ever before to share our abortion stories.

Have you taken mifepristone for abortion or miscarriage care? Consider sharing your story with us to help make this highly politicized issue personal: restricting access to these drugs hurts real people.

National Council of Jewish Women has partnered with the Jewish Women’s Archive (JWA) to collect all kinds of reproductive health stories — abortions you yourself experienced, how your reproductive health journey (like IVF, miscarriage, stillbirth, etc.) impacts your understanding of what’s at stake with abortion access, or your connection to abortion access through your support and advocacy. Right now we are putting out a call for mifepristone (medication abortion) stories in particular.
