Content warning: This post is about abortion.

Abortion discussions online, like so many personal and emotional topics, are rife with misinformation.

Here we correct 4 big misconceptions: we’ve seen floating around:

  • Both childbirth and abortion come with risks, but in general the risks are higher for childbirth.
  • Abortion has no effect on breast cancer risk.
  • Abortion has no effect on future fertility.
  • Abortions are very common, and you probably know someone who has had one.

Hot takes are easy to make, and even easier to share. The truth is often less shocking, but we should share it anyways.
