Welcome, to our second podcast!One of the goals of this podcast series is providing a platform for folks who look like me, who come from marginalized communities to honestly talk, support and validate each other.

Roe v Wade the New Jane Crowism
In 2013 I found an article discussing the New Jane Crow - "it is a system of laws in which pregnant women are treated as an underclass, in which pregnant women lose virtually every other right by virtue of being pregnant."The punitive laws and bans states are attempting to install as the result of the overturn of Roe v Wade are based on not only banning abortion but controlling the lives of women, young girls, medical staff who work with women, and those who help women seek an abortion, role ...
