Pregnancy and abortion are universal experiences, and yet, each story is unique. Thanks to the storytellers and TaYA for sharing these stories and uplifting the voices of young people.
“I reside in the capital city of Ethiopia- Addis Ababa, and I am an individual who holds reservations about abortion and tends to pass negative judgments on those who choose to undergo the procedure. However, a recent experience involving a former classmate’s situation has compelled me to reconsider my perspective. During a visit to her, we discovered that she had disappeared from her home, discontinued her education, and changed her residence due to an undisclosed illness. Upon further investigation, we learned from her sister that she had left her village for a rural area after becoming pregnant. Fearing societal judgment and family disapproval, she resorted to a traditional abortion method, leading to severe complications and significant blood loss. Her mental and psychological well-being deteriorated, and after some recovery, she sought employment in Arab countries. This revelation prompted my friends and me to reach out to her through various means, offering support and encouragement. It became evident that she had faced criticism from some students who questioned why she hadn't used contraception. This experience underscored the importance of empathizing with women who undergo abortion, as we may not fully comprehend the challenges they endure and the reasons behind their decisions. Rather than assigning blame, our focus should be on supporting these women. By fostering a non-judgmental environment, we can encourage them to seek safe abortion care in hospitals, preserving their lives and promoting mental and psychological stability. It is crucial to recognize the complexities surrounding abortion and extend understanding and support to those who navigate these difficult situations.” #Stopthejudgment #Testimony #youthvoice Guttmacher Institute

#SRH researchers: Join this online seminar where one of our experts, Ann Moore, will discuss the varied processes by which people come to know they are pregnant. Pregnancy recognition trajectories can be complex, shaped by individual, interpersonal, community and structural factors. Research on these trajectories is key to understanding people’s ability to make pregnancy-related decisions. Register here: https://lnkd.in/d_Jihrqm

Maryland has been meeting a growing need for abortion access since the Dobbs decision. As our expert Isaac Maddow-Zimet explains, when states step up to protect abortion rights and access, they not only benefit their own residents but those forced to travel out of state for care. https://gu.tt/3SIMKkD

What we're reading: This case makes it clear that abortion is life-saving care and must be available to everyone when and how they need it. The only way to guarantee that is to repeal all bans and restrictions. https://gu.tt/3M58NOI

It’s International #YouthDay! Young people have the right to accurate information and services for sexual & reproductive health and well-being. Our research in Kenya, Ghana, Peru and Guatemala showed that many students weren't learning about all topics that comprise comprehensive sex education, including: • Sexual & repro physiology • HIV/STIs • Contraception & unintended pregnancy • Values & interpersonal skills • Gender & rights Meeting young people’s needs, no matter where they live, is paramount to achieving #HealthForAll. That includes equipping them with the knowledge and skills to navigate their own sexual and reproductive health.

"When you cut off one form of health care, it impacts access to health care across the board.” Iowa's 6-week abortion ban could put even greater strain on maternity care in the state by creating delays in emergency situations and driving providers away. 🚨 More: https://gu.tt/3yx0R5C

With Iowa's 6-week abortion ban now in effect, access continues to tighten nationwide. As our expert Isaac Maddow-Zimet explained, “Any ban in one state has impacts on many others, because many folks are often looking to see where they can get care in neighboring states. Often they're traveling, sometimes from very far distances to access that care, and that care often comes with a lot of costs.” Read more: https://gu.tt/3WqTy7i
