One in four

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.
