Getting Emotionally Involved

Aspen Baker

Research to promote emotional well-being after an abortion is common ground because there is nothing to compromise, no human right or moral value to sacrifice, no ground to give way.  The only losers are those who fight to keep things the way they are.

Peace for the Abortion War

Aspen Baker

For more than 35 years our country's conversation about abortion has been stoked into a divisive war. I believe abortion peace will exist when each woman who has lived this experience can be supported, not shamed, and public policy reflects what's best for women's lives.
