The Abortion Companion: An Affirming Handbook for Your Choice and Your Journey

A warm, accepting, non-judgmental, and stigma-free companion for your abortion journey.

Whether you’re planning to have an abortion soon or you had one thirty years ago, whether you’re feeling relief or grief (or both!), and even if you haven’t decided yet and just want to untangle how you feel about it, this book is a safe and supportive resource. 

With an emphasis on self-compassion, it collects reflection prompts, affirmations, conversation scripts, logistical info, self-care tips, and much more to validate and support you no matter where you fall in the full spectrum of experiences of people who have abortions. Bolstered by beautiful illustrations and the caring, confident support of author and reproductive rights advocate Becca Rea-Tucker, this book will meet you wherever you are and offer guidance for every step of your journey.

“The Abortion Companion feels like sitting down on your big sister's bed; a big sister who refuses to let you carry shame or walk alone through scary things. Becca Rea-Tucker brings compassion, clarity, and courage to a topic that desperately needs all three.” —Jen Hamilton, labor & delivery nurse and content creator
