Choosing Abortion as a Mother

Welcome to the Her On Top Podcast, Season 2, Episode 2! Kayla sheds light on the insanity our world is currently in right now when it comes to access to abortion and women's health care. With the 2 year anniversary since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, Kayla tells her own personal story of seeking and having an abortion to help other mothers seeking abortion or women who just simply do not want to become mothers feel normal and justified in their right to the decision that is best for them. Kayla provides the statistic that 6 out 10 women who seek abortions already have at least one child and half of those women have at least two children. The majority of women seeking abortion are mothers and yet we never hear their stories. Here is one story to give women a sense of community and solidarity. Kayla wants to make her voice known and not shy away from this topic just because our country is trying to silence women's voices and experiences. This is an important election year and our voices and stories can make a difference.

Here is also an article about the pictures they took and descriptions of what happens in a medical abortion. Do note these photos are graphic so be gentle with yourself on what you are comfortable with.

Licensed therapist, mom, wife, friend, and overall driven entrepreneur. I see Love as the true meaning of life. I live in the beautiful town of Gig Harbor, WA and attempt to find time in my busy schedule to sing, dance, take baths, walk out in nature, and spend time with my husband, son, and dog. Let's be real though, my favorite way to unwind is under a cozy blanket watching shows and movies!
