The United States has experienced unprecedented destruction of reproductive rights in recent years. Perhaps the most jarring example, in 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed a constitutional right to abortion. And while not currently restricted like abortion, though it is often conflated with it, many barriers still block access to emergency contraception, or the morning-after pill.

In this episode, Amanda Johnson Morrison, co-founder and president of Julie, a new reproductive health company, explains what so many people get wrong about emergency contraception and why it's so important that the morning-after pill is accessible to everyone who needs it.
