Since the overturn of Roe V. Wade, there have been many concerns about women’s reproductive rights and if they can provide safe abortions to those in need. This is a very serious conversation that needs to be have as it can be harmful to women and people of all kinds, especially marginalized people, who need an abortion or any other pregnancy help.

Dr. Erica Montes is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist and the creator of The Modern Mujer Women's Health Blog. Her vision to create this blog started soon after delivering her third son and realizing that there are not many places on the internet for people to find expert information about their health, let alone in English and Spanish! 

The foundation for her blog combines her medical knowledge, life experiences, and approachable personality to create a safe space to learn about your body. She is proud to be one of the few Latina physicians in the United States and hopes her work and visibility can decrease some of the health care disparities seen in her community. She practices in Arizona and loves performing minimally invasive gynecological surgery and providing patient advocacy.

In today’s episode, we talk about limiting access to abortion affects marginalized people including Black and Hispanic as well as those who live in poverty.
