But when she started to be direct about her work as an abortion provider an interesting thing started to happen: one by one, people would confide that they'd had an abortion themselves. The refrain was often the same: You're the only one I've told. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book collects these stories as they've been told to Shah to humanize abortion and to combat myths that persist in the discourse that surrounds it. A wide range of ages, races, socioeconomic factors, and experiences shows that abortion always occurs in a unique context. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Today, a healthcare issue that's so precious and foundational to reproductive, social, and economic freedom for millions of people is exploited by politicians who lack understanding or compassion about the context in which abortion occurs. Stories have the power to break down stigmas and help us to empathize with those whose experiences are unlike our own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA portion of proceeds will be donated to promote reproductive health access. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Meera Shah\u003c\/b\u003e is a family medicine physician currently serving as the chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic in New York.
