  • Informative and heart breaking

    I’m so thankful I found this podcast. It demonstrates the importance and impact of autonomy - the choices you have (or don’t) and the long term effects of pregnancy. The topic of who “deserves” healthcare was eye opening. Please keep speaking up. More than ever women need access and bodily autonomy. Thank you for creating this podcast and wha lt you do.

  • A Miscarriage is not an Abortion

    It is insensitive to use the words “missed abortion” to talk about miscarriages. I know this is what they’re medically coded as but this is triggering for people who have lost wanted pregnancies. It’s disgusting how the hosts misuse language to make their listeners believe abortions and miscarriage are the same thing.

About that new Guttmacher report
Q: Were there surprising trends or surprising data points that stood out for you?
Despite a decline in cross-state travel, the absolute number of abortions remained fairly stable from 2023 to 2025, with travel still accounting for a significant share of care. The scale and distance of travel have increased, and Illinois emerged as a central hub for traveling patients, reflecting policy and funding dynamics that shape where people seek care.
Parenting is a serious business. Jamilah Lemieux can help.
Q: Why discuss abortion on a podcast about outlawed healthcare and parenting?
Because the decision to continue or terminate a pregnancy is deeply tied to parenting realities, and understanding this helps contextualize the broader impact of abortion access on families.
Meet the abortion pill revolution
Q: What has made the process of accessing abortion pills more available and less medicalized?
Elisa Wells discusses the lessons learned from international family planning and how those insights were applied to create Plan C, allowing access to abortion pills in the U.S. in innovative ways.
The Pregnancy Police State
Q: What should healthcare providers consider before calling the police on a patient?
Providers should consider whether they are allowed or required to make that call, and what the potential consequences are for the patient before deciding to involve law enforcement.
The Pregnancy Police State
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about how patients are criminalized when seeking care?
Patients often face criminalization through the actions of their healthcare providers, who may report them to the authorities based on assumptions about their circumstances, particularly in cases of miscarriage, stillbirth, or substance use.
