Abortion. It’s a word that grips us when we hear
it—sometimes with anger, sometimes with fear,
and oftentimes with pain. Most people avoid the
subject. According to the Alan Guttmacher
Institute, approximately 1 out of 3 women in the
United States will have had an abortion by age
45. It’s fair to say that the majority of
Americans have either had an abortion or know
someone who has experienced one.
An outreach to those trying to make sense of
their abortion experience away from judgments
and debates has created stunning transit ads
that will appear throughout the New York City
subway system this fall. Recognizing that the
New York City population largely uses mass
transit for transportation, the Abortion Changes
You outreach hopes to reach those who have been
touched by abortion – either their own or that
of someone close to them – and assure them that
they are not alone.
Please visit
AbortionChangesYou.com to
hear from men, women, family members and friends
who have experienced abortion and find local
resources. You can order the book
Changed: Making Sense of Your Own or a Loved
One’s Abortion Experience at
ChangedBook.com or by calling
877-325-HEAL.
Special Event at Fordham University
On Tuesday, September 23rd from 7-9pm at
Fordham University, Michaelene Fredenburg,
founder of Abortion Changes You, will ask the
question, "Why can't we talk about abortion?"
She'll discuss her personal experience with
abortion and how it touches the lives of men,
women, family members and friends. She will also
discuss her advertising outreach that will be on
NYC subways starting in October.
Join us as we discuss ways to promote helpful
dialogue surrounding this sensitive issue.

All are welcome.
