Photographer Supporting Pro-Abortion Activism Through Pictures

August 11, 2022

A western Massachusetts photographer who supports legal abortion is taking photos of people wearing T-shirts with pro-abortion slogans while in their home.

“Abortion Saves Lives” reads one T-shirt modeled on the photographer’s web site, accompanied by a caption attributed to the woman wearing it stating that her body was “still healing” from a previous recent pregnancy and that the coronavirus shutdowns of 2020 meant “we no longer had access to the support system we relied upon to help us navigate being parents for the first time.”

Another woman described her “fury” at the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June, and how “isolating” her abortion was six years ago.

“My partner at the time of my abortion went completely emotionally MIA. It was devastating. I have never felt so alone in my life,” a caption quotes the woman as saying.

A Greenfield city councilor and a local theater arts president have publicly identified their participation in the project, but most participants are not using their name in connection with it, according to The Greenfield Recorder.

The photographer lives in Turners Falls, a village of the town of Montague, which is just east of the city of Greenfield and about 35 miles north of Springfield.
