There’s a lot to be said for the use of facts and evidence to bridge the growing chasm between opposing ideologies. In some cases, we should strive for consensus for the good of those among us who are suffering. One such attempt is Pregnancy Interrupted, by Kate Clancy, a professor of anthropology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, whose work focuses on gender and women. (She is also the author of Period: The Real Story of Menstruation.)
I work in a similar space daily. Since 2016, I have helped run the Early Pregnancy Loss Association, a nonprofit that provides support and information for women who have suffered miscarriage. Since 2018, we have distributed more than 6,000 free miscarriage care kits. Still, there’s a question that no such nonprofit (and there are many) can answer: Why and how do miscarriages occur?
