Sofia Franklyn details abortion experience in memoir excerpt

Sofia Franklyn, co-founder of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, has shared details regarding an abortion she underwent in 2023. The account was published as an excerpt in Vanity Fair from her forthcoming memoir, titled “Daddy Issues,” which is scheduled for release on November 10.

Franklyn described the experience as emotionally and physically traumatic, noting that while medical instructions provide guidance on physical symptoms, they often lack preparation for the subsequent emotional and neurological shifts. She stated that after taking abortion pills at home, she experienced a period where she felt she could not recognize herself physically or mentally.

In her writing, Franklyn expressed a desire to share her story to help other women feel less alone and to address the shame she has personally felt. She noted that her decision to go public was an attempt to free herself from a sense of self-imposed exile.
