Hysterical HerStories

Dropping part two of our conversation with Selina Najar of Cobalt Advocates and Katherine Riley of COLOR on the day of the first hearing for the Reproductive Health Equity Act (RHEA)! In this episode we discuss why it is so critical to define abortion with gender-inclusive language, what it means to be on the offense for once,  how it is that the the media incorrectly frames "wins" for the abortion-rights movement, and what the current restrictions mean for thousands of people in Colorado. To support RHEA please call your legislators and tell them to #PassRHEAnow!

Maddie and Lorenne explain and discuss the recent SB 8 SCOTUS hearings, their impressions and predictions for a ruling as well as how the ban is already impacting Colorado and the rest of the country and what this might mean for the upcoming Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health Organization hearing on December 1st. The ladies also chat about some awesome WINS in the abortions right, justice and access movement and remind folks to please support Texas abortion clinics and funds!

In today's episode, Lorenne chats with Katherine Riley from the Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights (COLOR), getting into details on the organizations most recent legislative wins, how they're expanding rights for our undocumented family, the Latinx community and beyond. 

Today we talk to organizers and Sluts from SlutWalk Denver,  an event and organization centering Sex Workers, LGBTQIA+ and survivors rights and lives. SlutWalk works to end rape culture and create a world centered around consent culture. We discuss sex work decriminalization, narratives around survivorship, shame and how this awesome movement came to be. 

We take this episode to focus on the biggest news in reproductive rights:  The diabolical Texas abortion law, SB-8, that has created a fundamental shift in abortion rights, our Supreme Court and the judicial process as we now it. What happened, how did it happen, what comes next for providers and patients as well as the law? Lorenne and Maddie discuss. 

Our very first REPRO ROUND-UP breaks down important news in the local, state, and federal abortion access and reproductive rights landscape from the last month. Join us for our June 2021 round-up where we talk about the big legislative wins for reproductive health, rights, and justice in Colorado, anti-abortion legislation attempts (and losses), the policing of pregnant people in the national news, and Joe Biden's vocabulary choices (and nips!).
