The A Files: A Secret History of Abortion

Welcome to The A Files: A Secret History of Abortion! Here’s the first thing you need to know: Everything you’ve been taught about abortion is wrong. And the real truth is fascinating, frustrating, and key for every one of us to understand in 2024 and beyond. In this series, Renee Bracey Sherman and Regina Mahone—reproductive justice experts and friends—unpack the hidden history of this very common practice, from ancient Greek methods to the anti-Black roots of abortion bans in the U.S. Plus, some of the smartest people we know stop by to drop wisdom, and Renee and Regina start a little book club for all of us. Enjoy, and remember: As Renee says, Everyone loves someone who’s had an abortion.
