This super-sized season premiere episode is a conversation with Erika Galindo and Mads Clendening about what happened on abortion at the Texas Legislature earlier this year. They’ll update you on the complex (and still-changing landscape) of abortion access in Texas, highlighting the challenges and legislative changes that have brought us to where we are now. We’ll also talk about the importance of reproductive justice, the role of abortion funds, and the need for community engagement and solidarity in the fight for abortion rights. The conversation also touches on the recent history of abortion access, including explaining how abortion was banned in Texas even before the end of Roe v. Wade.

Join us for an episode dedicated to yapping all about abortion on TV. Your hosts Erika and Shae welcome Blanca and Ivania from the Lilith Fund team to share the abortion on TV moments that had the biggest impact on them. We agree that self-care can sometimes look like chilling out and watching TV. But what happens when abortion pops up in the plot? If you love TV and are also being real about abortion, this episode is for you. We’ll take a close look at the abortions on Degrassi, Sex and the City, Heartbreak High, and Grey’s Anatomy. We also hit on The Ultimatum, Love is Blind, and the film Unpregnant. We want to know about the abortion storylines that made an impact on you, too!
