A warming, beautiful, and necessary tool for advocacy, community building, and sisterhood.
One of the most powerful aspects of Abortion Diary narratives is their capacity for social justice. Melissa Madera illuminates gaps in the problem narratives that have been socially and politically constructed about abortion. These gaps provide openings for women to tell their own stories that not only empower them but that contribute to a body of insider knowledge that builds community amongst women who relate to or share common experiences. In this way, the Abortion Diary reduces marginalization and joins us to one another, increasing our chances of being heard in larger society. The Abortion Diary is a warming, beautiful, and necessary tool for advocacy, community building, and sisterhood. Due largely to this podcast, I have a richer description of my experience, a healthier perspective on it, and alternate stories that make my sadness more manageable, more pointed, and more contextualized. I am forever grateful.
