March 10th is National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers, so this super quick podcast discusses the day & the challenges.

I also mention my RHReality Check Diary (of escorting at a clinic) and the upcoming Visions in Feminism Conference which will have a workshop about reproductive health.

Last, but certainly not least I suggest everyone read the book:

The Story of Jane: The Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service

In the shouting match around the legislating and moralizing of abortion the first silenced are often women who have experienced it.  Where can women go to tell their story with out it becoming ammunition for either side of the reproductive rights war?

In this show I interview Aspen Baker from Exhale an after-abortion talkline.  Our conversation goes past the details of the hotline covering the nature of women’s truths and the challenges that feminists face today.

Two dedicated feminists: Laura and Robin sit on a futon bellies full of tofu and have a really ramble-y conversation on academia, feminisms, and the space between.

Things we loosely touch on
first, second, and third waves
black, cultural, Marxist, and radical feminisms
Womanism

I have more coherant shows in the works, this was more to break the silence and build momentum again on this project.
