For the 214th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Hannah Matthews, abortion doula and author of You or Someone You Love.

In this interview, Hannah shares her personal experience with abortion and her work as an abortion doula supporting others through the process, and how that work has helped her confront her own shame and discomfort around sex and bodily autonomy. She also discusses the misconceptions people have about abortion, the importance of pleasure in the equation, and her experiences with anti-abortion rhetoric and harassment from public figures like JD Vance. Hannah is currently working on a new memoir exploring chronic illness and sex, which we talk about a little bit at the end.
