Abortion is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy. Why then is something so basic at the heart of so many toxic conversations?
Episode 43 brings a topic that is very dear to my heart - bodily autonomy. It’s time we reframe the abortion conversation as a discussion about right to privacy and bodily autonomy. Any other approach to this conversation is problematic and grounded in patriarchal toxicity.
