Episode 101 The Divided States of Abortion

We may be called the United States, but reproductive freedom is one area where it’s painfully clear that women’s and non-binary people’s rights and choices are increasingly coming down to the laws and policies of each state. Hosts Gina Brillon and Kimberly Brooks take us through the fascinating history of how abortion became a tool to divide Americans and the most significant questions facing Americans as the country deals with the consequences of the Supreme Court’s Dobb’s decision.
