What is Abortion for Y'all?
Planned Parenthood South Atlantic’s Abortion for Y’all campaign aims to educate folks about the ways abortion stigma shows up in our lives and activate them to push back against attacks on our health care, whether by having conversations with loved ones about the importance of abortion access or urging their elected officials to defend reproductive freedom. Abortion for Y’all is grounded in an abortion justice framework, working intersectionally to destigmatize abortion care and add more voices to the conversation. Abortion for Y’all is gender-inclusive, affirming, and unapologetic, and encourages courageous and compassionate dialogue and collective action.
What is abortion stigma?
Abortion stigma is a shared understanding that abortion is somehow morally wrong and/or society deems socially unacceptable. This means people who seek an abortion are viewed as ‘inferior people,’ and those who provide abortion care are seen as ‘bad’ or unethical clinicians.
Abortion is normal, and all abortion experiences are valid and sacred. It's important that we share share our stories to combat the stigma that surrounds abortion and support the women, trans men, non-binary and gender non-conforming people who have them.

What is abortion justice?
"Abortion justice," coined by All* Above All, recognizes that legal protections do not guarantee access to health care and that systemic racism, economic insecurity, and immigration status make it harder for people of color, people experiencing financial hardship, and people who are undocumented to obtain an abortion. It's up to all of us to join the movement and fight for abortion justice for all.
