A warm, accepting, non-judgmental, and stigma-free companion for your abortion journey.
Whether you had an abortion earlier this morning or thirty years ago, whether you’re feeling relief or grief (or both!), and even if you haven’t had an abortion but just want to untangle how you feel about it, this book is a safe and supportive resource.
With an emphasis on self-compassion, it collects reflection prompts, affirmations, conversation scripts, logistical info, self-care tips, and much more to validate and support you no matter where you fall in the full spectrum of experiences of people who have abortions. Bolstered by beautiful illustrations and the caring, confident support of author and abortion advocate Becca Rea-Tucker, this book will meet you wherever you are and offer guidance for every step of your journey.
praise for THE ABORTION COMPANION
“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. Underlying this unabashedly PRO-abortion, rather than pro-choice, book is unflinching validation, love and support. May The Abortion Companion finds its way to all who need it.”
— Dr. Shelley Sella, board-certified OB-GYN and the first woman to openly practice third-trimester abortion care in the US. Her first book, Beyond Limits: Stories of Third-Trimester Abortion Care, is a tribute to the real people whose hearts, reasons, and stories are more complex than politicized conversations about abortion lead us to believe.
"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 both 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."

“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.”
