Personal Stories
These personal stories shed light on what it was like to live before abortion was legal in the United States. They also let us see what it is like today with the ever increasing restrictions to the entire spectrum of reproductive freedom. We also want to know if you or someone you know has experienced a problem with accessing birth control services or supplies. How far do you have to travel to get birth control? Is the cost, time, or distance traveled to obtain birth control a barrier for you? Are there other barriers to accessing birth control in your area that you are aware of? If you have a story you would like to share, please contact Maeve or call 503.223.4510 ext. 13. |
