In the wake of the Roe v. Wade decision, a lot of people were left wondering: What does this mean for access to birth control and emergency contraception?
While birth control remains fully available in Tennessee, the process of selecting and obtaining contraception can be difficult to navigate. From the pill, to intrauterine devices, to vasectomies or condoms, understanding and obtaining birth control options can be overwhelming — and not to mention, at times, expensive to access.
To better understand the process of learning about and obtaining birth control, we are talking to three Nashvillians who have personal experience with birth control. Then, we’re joined by a panel of medical and legal experts to hear about what resources are available in Tennessee — and find out if these options are here to stay.
But first, WPLN metro reporter Ambriehl Crutchfield joins us to discuss Nashville’s vision for the East Bank development.
Guests:
Ambriehl Crutchfield, WPLN metro reporter
Mollie Fox, student at Belmont University
Bernisha McFerrin, esthetician and mother of three
Alyson Nordstrom, co-founder of Teens for Reproductive Rights and high school student
Ashley Coffield, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi
Dr. Kimberly Looney, OBGYN and former chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi
Ellen Clayton, professor of law at Vanderbilt University
