Audacious with Chion Wolf

Life after abortion


Listen Later

Note from Chion: This episode of Audacious deals with themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including stories from our guests about rape and assault.

Ten people talk about why they had an abortion, how they feel about it years down the road, and how they felt when Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Plus, what it's like telling your abortion story as a comedian. Alison Leiby, a Brooklyn-based writer and comedian, created her show, "Oh God, A Show About Abortion," which premiered at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York in April of 2022.

The phone number for the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) is 1-800-656-4673. That line is open 24/7.

GUESTS: 

  • Janice Wolf: Had her abortion 15 years ago after the fetus was diagnosed with cystic hygroma
  • Emily Woodward Tracy: Had her abortion after an unplanned pregnancy when she was 16
  • "Anastasia" (pseudonym): Had her abortion when she was in her early 20's after being drugged and raped
