Just another word for nothing left to lose

Here in New York, my social feeds have caught fire with response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the law that protects the right to a safe, legal abortion in the United States. This is a professional newsletter, so I'll pose the question: How do you, as a professional creator, tackle a divisive, political, personal issue in your content? Here on the Shutterstock blog, we've been grappling with that question in a number of ways, ever since the decision leaked prematurely weeks ago. Here's where we land: We have stuck to the issues of visual representation that are core to our subject matter. The question of abortion is not a visual one, but the way we talk about it does have a visual element. So we've shared a visual history of protest movements, and a look at how we represent women who have chosen not to have children. And once the decision was announced officially, a team member with a strong point of view shared her perspective, and thoughts on how to destigmatize the topic with a careful selection of imagery. I've included those stories again here because together, they make a powerful statement. As a team, we recognize that people have a range of points of view about abortion and reproductive healthcare, and our hope is that we're able to help you put your opinions forward in the most open, caring, and yes, professional way possible.
Happy creating!

How We Show It: Childfree Women
Several women I know take enormous pleasure in their roles as aunts--and have absolutely no desire to be a mother themselves. They are childfree by choice, and at peace with that decision. What do their lives look like, and the lives of other women who are without kids? Let's show THAT.
