Not On Our Watch: The Upheaval of Roe vs. Wade
Manage episode 379501316 series 3519745
Jonni and Maria dig into the leak of the U.S Supreme Court opinion that will overturn Roe vs. Wade and remove abortion protestions for women. We are speaking out against taking this very personal choice nad right away from women to have autonomy over their own bodies - and destinies. We talk about our own views on abortion, play out all the reasons women have abortions that many anit-abortion supporters don't even realize, the surprising implications that this move will have on all of us, and what you can do to take action and make your voice heard.
