Abortion in the Headlines
The way a headline is written shapes how we see the world.
Abortion in the Headlines is a personal project to rewrite a news headline about abortion everyday. The goal is to understand current narratives about reproductive rights and consider how different framings shape how the issue is understood. Each revision seeks to expand the narrative, adjusts the focus, or reframes the story entirely.
Headlines are more than just summaries—they are powerful statements that frame public perception.
