Introducing Our Very First Blog Series
To celebrate the release of Merle Hoffman’s new book, Intimate Wars: The Life and Times of the Woman Who Brought Abortion from the Back Alley to the Boardroom, we’ve invited an impressive list of bloggers to speak out about their own first-person stories and experiences with abortion and reproductive justice activism. Starting today, The Cafe and Fem2pt0 will be hosting this special two-day online series of numerous stories to be housed on both spaces, and updated frequently.
With Roe v. Wade’s anniversary approaching, there’s perhaps nothing more important than sharing our stories about how deeply reproductive freedom impacts our lives. We hope that you are as excited as we are to continue this very compelling conversation! Take a look at Merle’s contribution to this series and don’t forget to check back throughout today and tomorrow to read new pieces as they go up.
We want to hear from you, too. Do you have an intimate war story to share? Tweet @OnTheIssues with the hashtag #IntimateWars, comment on our Facebook page or post a piece on your own blog and send it to us!
