Disclaimer: Jennifer and I are pro-choice and this is a pro-choice, feminist podcast. We support Roe, all that it stands for. We stand with people who want and need access to abortion. We believe abortion is healthcare. We stand for people’s rights to make the choices that they need and want to make for their lives when they need to make them without interference from outside parties. If someone wants an abortion, for whatever reason, they should be able to get it. Period.

Reflecting on the imminent demise of Roe v. Wade, Raquel and Jennifer discuss the effects of the loss of abortion rights. Below are links to the Politico article regarding the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe as well as links to a number of other articles that speak to this enormous issue. Also included is a (not exhaustive) list of organizations to support in this fight.
