12 Ways to Wear Your Support for Abortion Access
I have lost count of how many repro-related clothing items I have acquired over the past several years, whether through various giveaways, jobs, conferences, and fundraisers, as well as ones that I have been gifted or bought for myself. Wearing these items is one of my favorite ways to show support for organizations that my friends and I often work and volunteer for, and to promote abortion positivity and bust abortion stigma.
One of the most common questions I get when I wear or post photos of myself in abortion merch “Where did you get that?” So I finally decided to catalog some of my shirts, sweatshirts, and masks that you can get for yourself!
