I had the pleasure of working alongside @hannahgoodart on these four true stories about abortion, published on @thelilynews and @washingtonpost #Repost @thelilynews • • • • • • When we talk about who gets abortions and why — if we even talk about it at all — capturing reality is often not the point. Because abortion is so politically fraught and stigmatized, conversations around it tend to be more symbolic than factual, said sociologist Tricia C. Bruce.

To tackle this perception gap, we illustrated four real abortion stories. This post explains how we did it — and why we chose comics as a medium. 〰 Read the full series on our profile or visit the link in our bio. #thelilycomics (✍: @hannahgoodart; 🎨: @anagalvan_comic)
