I believe it is possible to bring peace to the abortion war. As a woman who had an abortion (watch me tell my story on video), founded Exhale and has been promoting my vision and leading the organization for over 7 years, I have started this blog to…SEE WHAT CAN HAPPEN. Bringing peace to this long-standing culture war is about building connections and changing the conversation. What better way to create new ways to talk and think and act about
abortion than by building a pro-voice community online that values leadership, vision, risk-taking, learning, listening, justice, and most of all, embracing challenge and having fun! Join me.

Yes, absolutely. We CAN move past being at war about this issue. Let the women who have the stories tell those stories and the conversation will change…not a minute too soon. Thanks for building a pro-voice community, Aspen.
Dear Aspen,
I agree with you wholeheartedly about applying the wisdom of nonviolence to the abortion war.
The wisdom of listening to all “sides” and finding the wisdom in all “sides.”
It’s a process that can feel very threatening to people, but in the end it’s about “everyone wins” rather than “I win, you lose.”
And thank you for founding Exhale, a much needed resource for people who have personally experienced abortion.
Blessings to you.
