How often do you hear honest stories about abortion in the mainstream media? How often do people talk openly about abortions they’ve had?

Today, we’re talking about abortions. Terminating a pregnancy is, still, a lasting taboo. And yet, despite the hushed tones and whispers that we use to discuss it with, between one in three and one in four Australian women have aborted a pregnancy. In this episode, we speak to one such woman - Pip - who is sharing her story in the hopes that it makes you feel a little less alone. Then, we hear from the experts at Marie Stopes Australia about why abortion access is crucial in helping women determine their own future.

A trigger warning for this one: this episode deals with issues surrounding abortion and may be triggering for some listeners.
