The Abortion Diary is the intersection of self-expression, healing, and the art of story-sharing and story-listening. We are dedicated to creating a space for people to share stories they haven’t been able to share and listen to stories they haven’t been able to hear. These are the stories we share.

Help us continue to share our stories and show the world that our stories matter.
Over the past six years, I have been making this podcast out of pocket and as a labor of love. I have been traveling around the country and have recorded over 300 stories. The experiences that have been shared and recorded span from the late 1950s to 2019. But the thing is, I can’t do it alone. It has been one girl with one mic. But I need your help to keep The Abortion Diary going. I takes hundreds of hours each month recording, editing, curating, researching and writing in order to make sure that our voices are heard. I am continuing to raise money in order to make sure the podcast continues to exist, stays on the road, expands its reach and so that I can buy equipment so that many more people can record and listen to our stories.

In the summer of 2014, I launched a 60 day Indiegogo fundraising campaign to raise the funds needed to continue the project. The Abortion Diary got the support of 96 people and raised over $3,500. There is still a long way to go to keep The Abortion Diary going. I am thankful that the following people who believe in our mission and invested in The Abortion Diary Tour. Whether they gave $1 or $250, every contribution supports The Abortion Diary in achieving its mission of sharing our stories and documenting our journeys. Thank you all!
With Gratitude,
