Description

My Mom Had an Abortion is a unique comingofage tale told by a selfdescribed dyslexicasexuallesbianfeminist teenager and illustrated by bodypositive comic artist Tatiana Gill. We follow our protagonist Beezus B. Murphy as she chronicles her evolving understanding of menstruation, reproduction, and abortion and finds her place in a confusing world. Initially influenced by harmful narratives in pop media such as the the pregnant teenager cliche, we watch Beezuss ideas change as her body changes and as she learns more about the intricacies of her family history and her moms own reproductive experiences. She grows from a confused, outofplace kid into a selfassured, empathetic, and strongwilled activist teen. As Beezus says, People shouldnt be shamed for getting or not getting abortions. Young people absorb the information that we gather from our surroundings. Sometimes its good information and other times it can be harmful. But now I realize abortion is perfectly normal and should be kept safe and legal. Sprinkled with pop culture references, hilariously apt descriptions of unwanted body changes and menstruation like the chapter Blood, Bath, and Beyond, and instantly understandable revelations of growingup, this beautifully illustrated short graphic novel crucially fills a cultural gap around complexities of abortion, pop culture, body changes, and finding out where we fit in.
