#101: Abortions make people happy (ft. Jenny Brown)

Author of 'Without Apology - The Abortion Struggle Now' Jenny Brown joins Psychotherapist Harriet Fraad and Substance Abuse Councillor Ikoi Hiroe to discuss the fight back for women's reproductive rights in the USA. Jenny discusses the history of abortion rights, numerous useful tactics and shares various resources (listed below).

"... it is time to return to the fundamental ideas that won legal abortion in the first place: Women publicly telling the full truth of their own experience, demanding repeal of all abortion restrictions, and showing how abortion and birth control are the key demands in the struggle for women’s freedom."
