About this episode

The episode discusses the fight for reproductive autonomy in America with Tara Murtha, highlighting its importance and the ongoing political conflicts surrounding it.

In Episode 39, I talked with Tara Murtha, Director of Impact and Engagement at the Women’s Law Project in Pennsylvania. We discussed the current state of reproductive autonomy in America, the origins of this fight, and the legacy the issue might have on our nation after this pivotal election. Ms. Murtha explained just how essential these rights are and also why the efforts to dismantle these rights are outrageous from legal, social and political perspectives. From coast to coast political conflicts, to interpersonal kitchen table conversations, the issue of reproductive rights is in the forefront of our interactions, and Ms. Murtha enlightened me on its cruciality. All I can say is that everyone must join in on this fight for a woman’s basic right to choose. If you don't think it should be that simple, tune in now to hear why. And if you do believe in this basic right to choose, learn how you can help!
