Welcome back! On this season premiere of Gaslit, we explore what it means to have an abortion on our own terms through self-managed abortion (SMA). We’re proud to welcome our guest, Nancy Cárdenas Peña, Campaign Director for Abortion On Our Own Terms. We discuss what Abortion On Our Own Terms is,  how it started, and their efforts to create Stigma Free Zones. We also examine why stigma around SMA exists even in pro-abortion spaces, and how storytelling and resources can help shift these perceptions.

From recent SCOTUS decisions to the broader legal history in the U.S., we connect the challenges faced here to movements across Latin America and globally. This episode is essential for those seeking SMA or hoping to understand what a future of stigma-free, accessible abortion care could look like.
