Sometimes being able to laugh during or after this common medical procedure is a radical act of defiant, unwavering self-love
that abortion rom-coms are not a thing, arguing that “the movie isn’t saying that abortions are funny,” but thatare. Slate argued that the film purposefully showed how someone can be sure of their decision to have an abortion, still feel many different kinds of feelings about it, and have downright funny post-abortion experiences.“I feel I have to be totally cemented in my position, all: ‘You can’t tell me what to do with my body,’” Slate said.
This kind of humorous, complex, accurate depiction of abortion care is what Steph Herold, a research analyst who studies the portrayal of abortion on television and in film for ANSIRH, wants to see more of. “It can show people who’ve had abortions that if they experienced moments of levity, that they’re not alone,” she tells Jezebel. “That if they weren’t there just crying before, during, and after, that’s totally fine and normal and okay.
For Kelley Huber, 28, who was facing a painful IUD insertion after her medication abortion at around 9 weeks gestation, her moment of levity was in singing Dolly Parton. While she says her abortion was empowering, she was scared about the possible pain she’d feel when she had her post-abortion IUD. So she asked her provider if she could listen to music and selected her Dolly playlist.“So I turn on Dolly and I try to breathe, and then that soft-strumming intro of ‘Islands In The Stream’ starts.
While some people do feel very sad about their abortions, and that reaction is as valid and legitimate as any, many people also feel joy, and happiness, and share a good laugh, or a poorly sang song. And as those in power continue to chip away at abortion access and attack people who seek out and provide abortions, celebrating the jubilation and humor of abortion isn’t just highlighting the reality of abortion care — it’s a radical act of defiant, unwavering self-love.
