The Pro-Choice Washington How To Talk About Abortion Guide is a resource for anyone who wants to learn how to have meaningful conversations about abortion.  

It is more important than ever to be able to speak about abortion in clear, medically accurate, and non-stigmatizing terms. 

Each of us has the power to protect and promote abortion access by boldly speaking out with family, friends, and in our communities to help shift the culture around abortion.

The Guide recommends exact language to use on key topics — such as defining abortion care, promoting inclusivity, and understanding equitable access to abortion — and provides conversation guides to demonstrate how you can use this language in real life. 

By having intentional and open one-on-one conversations about abortion — using clear, inclusive, and unapologetic terms — you can help increase acceptance, comfort, and culture change on abortion care.
