South Asians Discuss Roe vs Wade, a POC Perspective


Listen Later

Manu Multani and Arpita Sharma discuss the legislation currently at-risk with the Supreme Court in the United States, May 14, 2022. In the spirit of solidarity, we find it necessary to share this episode today, in this critical moment, and include resources to organize/resist this moment while also recognizing the need to address the health consequences that such conversations are bringing for POC/Global Majority. In this episode, we attempt to unpack the policy arguments to help make them more understandable and accessible and share what they imply for human rights, debunking some myths around abortion and contextualizing the consequences for POC.
