From pro-choice author Cara J. Marianna, who interviewed post-abortion women and listened to their stories:
“There is an unspoken social agreement that abortion, however necessary, is an abomination, and pregnant women must be protected from it. Part of the grief that can surround abortion is a physiological response to the loss of the pregnancy. Yet women who abort do not have a socially sanctioned way to recognize what they have been through. It is as if, in the eyes of society, we never were pregnant.”
