Abstract
This study is a discourse analysis of an online abortion-storytelling platform in Mexico called Lightbulbs. The platform contributes to reducing stigma by showing a diversity of experiences and contesting stereotypes through participants’ own voices, which is powerful in a context where public discourse about abortion is polemic and rarely based on personal experience. Yet, tensions exist regarding what kinds of stories are less visible or silenced in online storytelling. We conclude with implications for reproductive rights activists who may unwittingly undermine the potential of storytelling for transformative justice in relation to access to safe and legal abortion.
