On this week's episode, podcast hosts Katelyn & Hannah discuss parenting and the forced-birth extremist movement. How does parenting connect to the forced-birth movement, and what supports does our society have in place for parents and families? Katelyn & Hannah discuss maternal mortality rates, income and daycare disparities, community safety, foster care and so much more! Our rant this week discusses about a topic we haven't wanted to dive too deep into, but share the overview of impacts from a recent court verdict. If you have ever wondered "is parenting a human rights issue?" , or if you've never thought about it at all - this episode is for you!
