Outlawed
Most people in the US support abortion access, but having nuanced conversations about restrictions and bans can seem impossible. Join two OB-Gyns on the front lines of abortion care as they make sense of the ever-evolving consequences of our government ceding the expert decision-making power of medical professionals to lawyers and courts. Each short episode features stories and science from physicians, researchers, abortion-seekers and other expert witnesses to the impact on all of our lives. Whether you’re out drinking with the dudes, doing playground duty with other parents, or being stared down by Uncle Bob, we’ve got your back.
Brought to you by Dr. Beverly Gray, Dr. Jonas Swartz and Jane Marie’s Little Everywhere.
