Part Four: The Abortion Stories We Need


Listen Later

In our season finale, we pass the microphone to U.S. Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) and reproductive justice activist, abortion storyteller and writer Renee Bracey-Sherman for a heartfelt discussion about the stories we tell, believe and redefine about our bodies and abortions. The two discuss their own abortion experiences, the moments in pop culture that shaped their understandings of pregnancy, what local abortion wins (shoutout Missouri!) mean for the future of care and so much more. This episode also features abortion doula, community organizer and reproductive justice consultant Ash Williams, who narrates an excerpt from WHOLE, a narrative for abortion freedom.
