ABORTION IS (A HUMAN) RIGHT, with Chiara No

Healthcare! Freedom! Abortion Rights! + Local Politics!

Field Pod takes to the field (or the astroturf at Cadman Plaza) to speak with activists at the Bans Off Our Bodies rally. We hear important, real reasons why people turned up to advocate for abortion as a human right. Then Kris sits down with artist Chiara No for a discussion of Tipper Gore and paparazzi photographs of celebrity vaginas. They talk testosterone, crowning, pregnancy metal and gender pirating. Abortion takes over the conversation naturally from these topics, and Chiara and Kris share their thoughts on the real issues around abortion and autonomy: personhood,  humanity, and freedom. Jacob Rhodes and Kris wrap things up with some Filed Projects news and list of GO DOs.
