  • Summary

  • In this episode we’re connecting the dots between abortion rights, bodily autonomy and sexual liberation. Because you know what we almost never talk about when we talk about abortion? Sex! Artist, organizer and abortion storyteller Favianna Rodriguez shares her journey toward sexual liberation, an intimate story of how her self-managed abortion allowed her to face generational trauma, and why dismantling gender stereotypes around sexuality has become part of her life’s work. Berkeley professor and author Juana Maria Rodriguez takes us through a fascinating history of sex workers in Mexico and Cuba, and how they pushed for social and political change around the “good women vs bad women” tropes. Mindy Jane Roseman, who directs the programs for global justice and women's rights at Yale Law School, explains the history of the Comstock Act, how it connects to the patriarchal “morality” precedent, and how it is being resurrected today in the Republican push to ban medication abortion (and birth control!).
