A Mother And Daughter Discuss Their Abortions

Samie Detzer
Mother and Daughter - Samie and Patty Detzer

There is an old rule of etiquette that cautions to never discuss politics, religion or sex in polite company; and when one brings up abortion they hit all three marks.

Seattle-based activists Amelia Bonow and Lindy West have been pushing for more conversations about abortion with the social media campaign #shoutyourabortion. The campaign was created as a direct response to the GOP push to defund Planned Parenthood.

Polite or not, many people are discussing abortion more loudly and more publicly than before.

Sound Effect invited mother and daughter Patty and Samie Detzer to discuss their experiences with abortion.
