A feminist author and radical abortion advocate is urging women to openly discuss their abortions with their children, defending the decision to kill their siblings in abortions.
Becca Rea-Tucker says women who celebrate their abortions should frame killing their sibling as a normal life choice that can lead to having other kids — a stance that pro-life groups say normalizes the killing of unborn boys and girls who should be brothers and sisters.
Becca Rea-Tucker, author of the upcoming book on celebrating abortions, detailed her views in a personal essay published January 26 on Literary Hub, where she described her own abortion as a college student and her plans to tell her daughter about it without shame.
“I’ll tell her how my decision to have her grew out of my decision to have an abortion,” Rea-Tucker wrote, explaining that she intends to teach her child that “ending a pregnancy is OK” alongside messages that “sex is OK” and “pleasure is OK.”

Rea-Tucker, who lives in Austin with her husband and daughter, argued that children should learn about abortion as part of comprehensive sex education, questioning how kids can accept killing babies as normal “if we whisper it under our breath.”
She criticized what she called “black and white thinking” in societal views on abortion, such as “good/bad, right/wrong, virgin/whore,” and asserted that such “dichotomies don’t actually exist.”
The essay reflects Rea-Tucker’s shift from initial silence about her abortion to public advocacy, including creating social media content like images of cakes with messages such as “Abortion Isn’t A Bad Word.”
She described her abortion as “an experience I probably would rather not have had, but one that I’m ultimately at peace with — like the time I went whitewater rafting.”
Rea-Tucker claimed that regret over abortions is often imposed by society rather than inherent, citing conversations with “thousands of people” who mostly feel “relief” and certainty in their decisions. That ignores decades of evidence that millions of women are scarred by their own internal guilt, shame and regret over ending the lives of their own children.
