Abortion Access for All (A Rant Before the US Election)
Manage episode 446182407 series 3294145
This week's episode was originally going to be about many things, but once we got started, we realized that there is one topic that we needed to talk about: abortion.
We discuss the implications of restrictive abortion laws, the personal nature of abortion decisions, and the importance of voting to influence reproductive rights. We cannot emphasize enough the need for equitable access to this very important type of healthcare.
Two notes:
1. If discussing abortion access is triggering to you because of the nature of your loss (i.e. TFMR), we welcome you to skip this one. It is all we talk about.
2. If you support limiting or eliminating access to abortion and would like to discuss this with us, we are open to that, but please use our Instagram DMs instead of a public comment. We do not want the folks in #1 to have any more exposure to these viewpoints than they already do.
