Well it's been a great run, and I am ready to get cancelled again. LOL.

Just Kidding. I know many of the views that I express here will be controversial, but - I cannot stand the thought of my daughter growing up in a world in which women's own standards for themselves are so damn low.

TRIGGER WARNING for this episode: we discuss medical rape.

There are some key contextual elements that I forgot to mention, so please see those here:

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, was a eugenicist 

Whistleblowers on Sexual Assault in Gynecology 

Dayum, I didn't even get into the history of Twilight Sleep + all that good stuff!!!

I also want to make an important DISCLAIMER: I fully believe there are cases in which a safe medical DNC is necessary, particularly for the health of the mother. It is imperative that women fight to retain sovereignty over there own bodies from government authorities. This episode simply offers alternative thoughts for the millions of women who do not fall in that category. 

In this episode, we cover:

- this history of obstetrics

- issues with gynecology

- perspective on birth interventions

- does cancer screening really change outcomes?

- the history of birth control

- Post Birth Control Syndrome

- midwives and abortion and the history of abortion

Here are some resources to dive deeper:

Witches. Midwives + Nurses

History of Birth

Beyond the Pill

Unassisted Birth

** please note that when I reference "midwives", I am referring to traditional, unlicensed midwives. Unfortunately, licensure and midwifery schools have taken many midwives hostage and created an "at-home OB" situation that centers liability instead of women's rights. 

and more. Please have the courage to come to me with discussions or questions at [email protected] instead of an online echo chamber. And as always, this podcast is not for everyone.
