S2 Ep 17: Any Reason Is a Good Enough Reason to Access Abortion with Erika Seth Davies
**TRIGGER WARNING:** Abortion
Welcome to P.S. Blossom, powered by Rhia Ventures!
“You don't have to have a traumatic, devastating moment in your life to decide, ‘I'm not ready to have a child.’ That framing seems so harmful to me because it's simply a choice.” — Erika Seth Davies
In Any Reason Is a Good Enough Reason to Access Abortion, we speak with Erika Seth Davies (she/her) at Rhia Ventures about her abortion story and how having reproductive rights and access to abortion care set the stage for her (and her future children’s) life. She opens up about her feelings around her decision and explains how her choice ultimately made her a better parent.
Erika’s work has always been focused on racial justice, which extends to reproductive justice for black women in particular. Join us for this vulnerable yet inspiring conversation about the importance of bodily autonomy and making the right decisions for yourself, guilt-free!
