Abortion is taboo -- in politics, in film, heck, even in private conversations . The stigma surrounding abortion is perhaps the most glaring evidence of how far we are from defeating the war on women's reproductive rights. If we treat it like the Voldemort of medical procedures , even on screen -- how can we expect any progress to be made?

The last two years haven't been great for reproductive rights. More than 70 anti-choice provisions were enacted in 2013 . This was another year of setbacks (see: Texas ), and with major Republican victories in the November elections, we can expect to see more restrictive measures passed in 2015. As a (somewhat terrifying) infographic from the Guttmacher Institute shows, "more abortion restrictions were enacted between 2011 and 2013 than in the entire previous decade ."

There are plenty of horrifying things to read if you want to know more about the troubling state of the legislative fight for reproductive rights in the United States. But beyond legal battles and ballot measures, the reality is that abortion has become a subject we hardly know how to do discuss.
