  • Summary: Shout Your Abortion

    This news story is about a young woman that decided to create a twitter hash tag that is called “Shout Your Abortion”.

It’s thought that if more women that have had abortions speak out it may shine a different light on the negativity abortion is made out to be so funding for Planned Parenthood won’t stop and abortion will stay legal.
