1 in 3 women* will have an abortion in their lifetime. Hosted by UM Students for Choice, the second annual Abortion Speak Out works to combat the silence and stigma surrounding abortions. The Speak Out is a safe space for students, faculty, and staff of the University of Michigan to share their personal experiences with abortion. Those that have not had an abortion or do not wish to share their personal story are welcome to attend and listen to the stories of others.

Internationally renowned activist and spoken word poet, Sonya Renee, will open the Speak Out by sharing her personal story, as told through her poetry.

After Sonya Renee's performance, the Speak Out will be open for anyone to share their personal abortion story- judgment free. All strories are valid and welcome.

Any type of audio or visual recording is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN and the official University heckler's warning will be read aloud before the start of the event. We also ask that all guest adhere by our official Speak Out rules which will be handed out prior to the events start.

The 1 in 3 Campaign recognizes that people who do not identify as women also have abortions. Anyone is welcome to share their story, regardless of gender identity.
