Abortion can be a difficult topic to broach among adults, let alone children. Parents, caretakers, and providers need and deserve a nonjudgmental, gender-inclusive, and medically accurate resource to use in discussions with children about abortion.
That is why Carly Manes and Mar wrote “What’s an Abortion, Anyway?”. Their intention was for this book to be a starting point - just one initial resource for parents, caretakers, and those wanting to talk to the young people in their lives about abortion care.
As you’ll discover in the book’s text, the language used is devoid of gender or a traditional narrative arc due to the expansive, complex nature of abortion care. To use a traditional narrative arc would be to erase the millions of individual stories and reasons that people seek abortion care. It is important to us that this book does not perpetuate the ideology that there “good” reasons or “bad” reasons to have an abortion.
