Focus on Abortion: Americans Share Their Stories
Exhibit Description: Focus on Abortion: Americans Share Their Stories is a published book and a traveling exhibit by photographer and author Roslyn Banish. This work introduces the often-missing and most important voices in the abortion conversation: the voices of those who have experienced abortion.
The storytellers come from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and generations. They live in urban, suburban and rural areas throughout America. Together they provide a broad, complex and poignant picture of abortion in our country.
