In this episode, Enraged hosts Katelyn and Hannah discuss forced sterilization and how controlling reproduction is foundational to exerting power and has been for many centuries. This week's rant discusses the White House memo urging people to consider deleting their menstrual tracking apps and buying pregnancy tests with cash. Katelyn describes the book she's reading, and together, podcast hosts make important connections about how women of color experience the most negative impacts of reproductive issues. This episode describes how conversations about forced sterilization need to be included in the broader contexts of abortion healthcare and access.
