Photo: Isadora Sinha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Isadora Sinha, a 22-year-old university student, is not a stranger to death threats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all started from a pro-choice motion she presented last year when she was sitting in the annual general meeting, unafraid to debate with some outraged Catholic men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, the proposal passed by a large majority, which prompted the Students\u2019 Union to adopt the pro-choice stance. For Sinha, the result was a huge victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI felt very happy and excited,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I didn\u2019t have much time to enjoy that.\u201d Following the motion, an unexpected backlash and hostile comments started coming in rapidly, with people calling her a murderer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facing all the trolls and threats, Sinha said without hesitation, \u201cBut I don&#8217;t regret it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is a courageous fighter and passionate activist for those who&#8217;ve had abortions and gripped by unrelenting fear of being rejected and judged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Many women and men privately messaged me and said how happy they were since someone was standing up for this,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying to help these women overcome depression in their darkest moments, Sinha knows a pro-choice ideology would not be enough. They need a more complete support system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January, she set up the Cardiff University Pro-choice Society, aiming to provide a safe place for women who&#8217;ve had miscarriages or abortions to open up about their personal stories without feeling ashamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPro-choice is not pro-abortion,\u201d Sinha said. \u201cI want to create a community that will respect their rights, their decision, whether it is to be a mother in the middle of education, to terminate, or to give birth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/3-8-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Isadora Sinha standing in the middle was surrounded by the members of the pro-choice society.
