""The Abortion Companion is like a cool and supportive friend or big sister there to affirm your decision-making, correct common misperceptions that are grounded in stigma, and guide you through the process from beginning to end . . . a wonderful, accessible, and inclusive tool . . . the first book I have ever read about abortion that is not only non-stigmatizing but unapologetically supportive of individuals who choose to have an abortion. [This is] a book that everyone should have on their bookshelf. I really can't recommend it enough if you are a person who has ever had an abortion, are considering having one, or know someone who may someday have one."" --Jaclyn A. Siegel, Ph.D. (Social Psychologist) ""Aesthetically beautiful and emotionally resonant, The Abortion Companion captures Becca Rea-Tucker's rare gift for destigmatizing conversation and creating space for honest reflection. I've learned so much about myself and my own deeply held beliefs through her work, and this book is yet another example of her compassion and courage in action. I can't recommend it enough--and I'm honored to do the work alongside her."" --Nikki Sapiro Vinckier, PA-C (OB-GYN Physician Associate and author of We Deserve More) ""A true companion for anyone who is considering an abortion, has had an abortion, or wants to support a loved one having an abortion. The personal storytelling weaved into practical advice reads like a trusted aunt sharing her hard-earned wisdom. The information in the book is deeply reflective while also being easily digestible for all readers. Having cared for thousands of people through their abortion experiences, I especially appreciated the dialogues, scripts, and template emails to help people having abortions through some of the difficult conversations around sharing their decision or getting time off. I look forward to sharing The Abortion Companion with the people I care for in my practice."" --Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi (OB-GYN, abortion provider, founder of Pegasus Health Justice Center, and Board Chair for Physicians for Reproductive Health) ""In The Abortion Companion, Becca Rea-Tucker has written an approachable and dare I say delightful guide for the one in four women in the United States who will have an abortion and for those who love them. This means it's for everyone. Written in a style reminiscent of how a supportive best friend would talk to you, the book includes practical information, self-help tips to navigate external and internalized stigma, affirmations, and lists of resources [with] unflinching validation, love, and support. May The Abortion Companion finds its way to all who need it."" --Dr. Shelley Sella (Board-certified OB-GYN, recipient of the National Abortion Federation's Christopher Tietze Humanitarian Award, and author of Beyond Limits: Stories of Third-Trimester Abortion Care)
