    What Happens when Our Uteruses Become Political Footballs: Interview with Federica about Miscarriage and Abortion

    I started this podcast because there are so many complex, interesting issues that are generally considered taboo to discuss in "polite company"... They are considered taboo for good reason. When these topics are discussed, perhaps at a cocktail party after a few drinks, it can lead to disruption in social expectations and even loud conflict.  There needs to be a place where those of us who are not politicians or clergy can feel empowered to discuss these topics.  In this episode, I am joined by a formidable, talented, and intellectually curious young woman who has a story to tell and some perspectives to share. She courageously discusses the very personal topic of a woman's right to choose whether, when, and how to become a mother. In the second part of the interview, we dive deeper into the way that arguments about other health issues are often framed in a very dramatic, polarizing way, in order to get people to believe certain things.
