For one Austinite, this city was crucial to the fight for Women's Rights in the 1960s. So decades after her activism helped desegregate dorms at The University of Texas at Austin and secure women's reproductive rights, it's been difficult for her to watch abortion access disappear. So what gives author Alice Embree hope, and how is she working on making things better for women and other Texans years later? Embree joins host Nikki DaVaughn to share her experiences and advice for today's campus activists in this special episode for Women's History Month.  Learn more about the  sponsors of this March 27th episode: Tecovas Visit Port Aransas Zach Theatre Want some more Austin news?

Desde que el Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos anuló el histórico fallo Roe vs. Wade en junio de 2022, Texas, bastión republicano, se ha convertido en uno de los 22 estados que prohíben el aborto, incluso en casos de incesto o violación. ¿Qué impacto tiene este asunto en las elecciones del 5N? Un informe de Valérie Defert y Pierrick Leurent.

Rachel Maddow looks at how the politicization of abortion has imperiled the health of women in the United States, making all aspects of reproductive health more dangerous, and showing real-world tragic outcomes, and how Donald Trump's continued kowtowing to anti-abortion activists threatens to solidify these harmful conditions.

After the end of Roe, a new beginning for maternity homesAP News , By TIffany Stanley, on August 2, 2024https://apnews.com/article/abortion-maternity-homes-catholic-evangelical-roe-f455da4fd46c195246df43bc6dd16a67 The discussion delves into the resurgence of maternity homes across the United States, particularly following the reversal of Roe v. Wade. These institutions, primarily run by Catholic and Evangelical groups, present themselves as shelters for pregnant women in need. However, they often serve as instruments of religious indoctrination, subtly or overtly pressuring vulnerable women to conform to strict religious doctrines during a crucial period in their lives. As state-level abortion restrictions intensify, these maternity homes have transformed into battlegrounds where ideological warfare takes precedence over genuine care, further entrenching the divisive cultural and political conflicts surrounding reproductive rights. The conversation raises concerns about the motivations behind these homes, comparing them to the "homes for wayward girls" of the past, which were notorious for victim-shaming and coercing women into giving up their babies. These modern maternity homes are seen by some as a propaganda tool for the anti-abortion movement, attempting to counter the criticism that the movement doesn't care about babies or mothers after birth. The limited reach of these homes is also highlighted, with the panelists noting that while these institutions might provide care to a small number of women, they represent only a tiny fraction of those in need, especially among marginalized groups. The history of maternity homes is explored, noting the secrecy and shame that surrounded pregnancies in the past. Women were often sent away to give birth in secret, with many of their babies being taken from them without consent. The discussion questions whether history is repeating itself, as some of these modern homes are situated next to adoption agencies, raising fears that vulnerable women may still be coerced into giving up their babies. While acknowledging that many of the individuals working in these maternity homes may have good intentions, the panelists express concern about the broader impact of these institutions. They worry that the focus on religious doctrine and the potential for coercion could lead to further harm, particularly in an environment where the demand for children may increase due to potential restrictions on IVF. The fear is that this could lead to a system where vulnerable women are exploited, and their children are funneled into "good Christian homes," a phrase that evokes troubling memories for those who have suffered abuse under the guise of religious care. The conversation ends with a poignant reflection on the dangers of indoctrination and the lasting harm it can cause. The panelists express deep concern that these maternity homes, rather than offering true support, may be perpetuating cycles of shame, guilt, and isolation, ultimately harming both mothers and children.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.35.3 featuring Kelley, Infidel64 , Jonathan Roudabush and Eli SlackBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

On this episode, we're going back into our archives to share an episode that unfortunately still has deep resonance today. Last year, we asked you what a year without Roe has been like in your lives and you responded in droves. Today, with abortion still banned in 14 states with little exception, life looks a lot like it did last year at this time. So we're running it back today and sharing "A Year Without Roe" again, to remind us all of what's at stake as abortion is on the ballot this November.

After Roe v Wade was overturned in June 2022, doctors said a wave of young people started showing up in their offices asking for permanent birth control - like tubal ligations or vasectomies.

“It's difficult to think of a public health crisis more inevitable than the impending end of Roe v. Wade,” writes journalist Shefali Luthra, “and yet, on June 24, 2022, the country was profoundly unprepared.” Luthra argues that we're now in the midst of that public health crisis, as millions of Americans seeking abortions face overwhelming obstacles to care, and as abortion providers reach a “breaking point to attempt to meet demand.” Luthra's new book “Undue Burden” chronicles what she calls the human stories of abortion access — the patients with medically complex pregnancies who spend life savings on out-of-state care, the doctors who work under fear of legal reprisal and the lawmakers who struggle to respond. We talk to Luthra about the personal and systemic impacts of the loss of the constitutional right to abortion, nearly two years after Dobbs.

Scott Klusendorf, President of the Life Training Institute, challenges pro-life advocates to gently yet persuasively stand for preborn babies and vulnerable women in a culture divided on abortion.

Sam talks with Merle Hoffman, long-time abortion rights activist and founder of one of the largest abortion clinics in the country, who has just written a memoir chronicling her decades of experience fighting for abortion rights. Get the book here: Choices: A Post Roe Abortion Rights Manifestomerlehoffman.com and choicesmedical.com or on Twitter: @MerleHoffman. For those looking for abortion care visit abortionfinder.org and prochoice.org  For funding abortion agencies nationally visit abortionfunds.org. About the book: In the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade and a country divided, a pioneer in the pro-choice movement and women's healthcare offers an unapologetic and authoritative take on abortion and women's right to choose. Merle Hoffman has been at the forefront of the reproductive freedom movement since the 1970s. Three years before the Supreme Court legalized abortion through Roe v. Wade, she helped to establish one of the United States' first abortion centers in Flushing, Queens, and later went on to found Choices, one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive women's medical facilities. For the last five decades, Hoffman has been a steadfast warrior and fierce advocate for every woman's right to choose when and whether or not to be a mother. Now, amidst the aftermath of the Dobbs Decision, Hoffman has carefully compiled her decades of analysis, research, and experience into a tour de force manifesto that sheds light on the catastrophic repercussions of overturning Roe, and what we must do moving forward to ensure the safety and legality of abortion nationally. In Choices, Hoffman expresses her views on where we are and what lies ahead. She covers topics ranging from: revamping the healthcare system to support women's rights; combatting rising authoritarianism; the weaponization of religion; fighting the antis; practicing courage; sabotage from within the movement; and activating the next generation in the fight for reproductive justice.

Plus, Brazen power grab: Right-wing Supreme Court 'dripping contempt for federal regulation'

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the Republican Party declared victory.But the Alabama Supreme Court's decision last month that frozen embryos are considered “extrauterine children,” which prompted hospitals to suspend I.V.F. procedures, has complicated that victory. Given Americans' overwhelming support for in vitro fertilization, conservative politicians have tried to distance themselves from the ruling.The hosts discuss that political scramble and ask whether the Republicans have made up their minds over what it means to be “pro-life.” The hosts also consider how much public opinion should influence the decisions of lawmakers and judges, and where the debate over reproductive rights is headed.Plus, listeners weigh in on how much the economy is going to affect their vote.(A full transcript of this audio essay will be available within 24 hours of publication on the Times website.)Mentioned in this episode:The Alabama Supreme Court's ruling that frozen embryos should be considered children Thoughts about the show?

The University of Alabama health system became the first organization in the state to pause IVF treatments following the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that said frozen embryos can legally be considered “children.” Meanwhile, the future of IVF in the ten other states remains unclear as well because, like Alabama, they say life begins at fertilization. To learn more about how this fits into the larger fight for reproductive rights, we spoke with Dana Sussman, deputy executive director of Pregnancy Justice.Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old nonbinary student in Oklahoma, died earlier this month one day after a fight in a school bathroom. The circumstances of Benedict's tragic death are still coming into focus. But one thing's for sure: the efforts of anti-LGBTQ lawmakers in Oklahoma, as well as influential right-wing social media accounts like Libs of TikTok, have helped create an extremely hostile environment for trans youth and LGBTQ people in the state.And in headlines: the White House wiped out another $1.2 billion in student debt, the latest on the sputtering Republican-led Biden impeachment inquiry, and the Boeing executive in charge of 737 Max's is out.Show Notes:Pregnancy Justice – https://www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/The Independent: “Oklahoma banned trans students from bathrooms.

Post Roe Abortion, and Can Conservative Politicians Save America?  It appears that Trump would support a 16-week abortion ban.  Is that enough  to  hang on to 100% of the Pro-Life vote?  Is it too weak? Will independent or undecided  voters think it is too restrictive?  Also, what if God's plan for the Church in America doesn't hinge on Donald Trump?  Will anyone in the Church embrace that?  Have so-called Evangelical Conservative/Republican voters been a good representation of Christ and the Gospel?

This week on The New Abnormal, Samuel Dickman, the medical director at Planned Parenthood Montana, joins us to unpack a jarring new study showing the dramatic increase in pregnancies related to rape after the banning of Roe v Wade. Plus! Author Andrew C. McKevitt talks about his new book, “Gun Country: Gun Capitalism, Culture, and Control in Cold War America.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Polls show about seven in 10 Americans say abortion should be legal in cases of rape or incest. But since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, nine states have banned abortion in those cases. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association calculates there have been more than 64,000 rape-related pregnancies in areas with bans. John Yang discussed the study with Dr. Samuel Dickman. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Last week on NBC's Meet the Press, Joe Biden's deputy campaign manager, Quentin Fulks, was asked what the president's top priority would be if reelected. His reply: “First of all: Roe. … The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago.”  According to Politico, President Biden's pro-choice agenda is “the strongest abortion rights platform of any general election candidate,” and the president seems to sense that this is among the very few issues trending in his favor. Of a recent Texas Supreme Court case in which a woman was denied a medical exception for an abortion, the president declared: “No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs. … This should never happen in America, period.”  Judging by the string of pro-life legislative defeats, most recently in the otherwise red Ohio and Virginia, many Americans agree with the president. One Politico analysis concluded, “When abortion rights are on the ballot, they win with voters across the political spectrum—though they don't always boost Democratic candidates on ballots advocating for them.” In an imminent presidential election that promises to be especially contentious, the received wisdom among progressive candidates is this: Vow to preserve, at all costs, the so-called “right to choose,” and it's likely that voters will choose me.  Of course, this reveals as much about the rest of the progressive agenda as it does about “reproductive rights.” Immigration and the southern border? Ukraine and Israel? Housing prices? Inflation? LGBTQ issues? The mental health crisis? These pressing issues are political liabilities for the president right now, so all the attention is on abortion.   It is more than a little ironic to see the heightened emphasis on abortion, considering how often Christians were accused of being “one-issue” voters. Post-Roe, left-wing politicians are forced to be more honest about abortion's central role in their political project.  And make no mistake, abortion is central not only to a progressive political agenda, but to the vision of “freedom” and selfhood this agenda has enshrined in American law and culture. In so many ways, abortion symbolizes the worldview in which autonomy and self-expression are the highest possible values. It's the logical endpoint of the pursuit of freedom from constraints, devoid of any notion of freedom for a created purpose.  In this view, connections to other human beings—including the most intimate and dependent connection of all—are only worthwhile insofar as they help citizens achieve that vision of limitless autonomy. If such connections get in the way of our freedoms, we should be free to sever them, no matter who suffers.    This deadly logic has become increasingly obvious in recent years as imaging technology in neo-natal care has made the humanity of preborn babies undeniable. Quite a few pro-abortion activists have responded by swallowing the proverbial poison pill and giving up on pretending children in the womb are “clumps of cells.” So what if they're human? These activists retort. Their death is an acceptable price for women to maintain absolute control over their own bodies and futures! If our vision of freedom requires people to die, so be it.   Still, abortion is heavily restricted or banned in 24 states, mostly as a direct result of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, and there are a few hopeful signs that the public hasn't fully bought the logic of the extreme activists. For example, pro-abortion candidates, at least on the national level, still feel the need to pretend they find abortion distasteful. Last year, President Biden prefaced his support of abortion by saying, “I'm a practicing Catholic. I'm not big on abortion.” Also, abortion is still typically defended in public, not as an absolute, on-demand right, but as a necessary accommodation in sad but rare circumstances like rape, incest, and the life of the mother. These “wedge” arguments are deeply flawed and do not change the fact that intentionally taking an innocent human life is always wrong. However, their continued use indicates that Americans aren't quite ready to stomach the unrestricted killing of little people we find inconvenient.  Ultimately, the pro-life argument remains unchanged. The preborn are innocent human beings, made in God's image, and no one should be able to take their lives without cause. In fact, the most basic purpose of government is to protect its citizens' right to life, and if the government fails to do this, it is failing in the most basic way. Simply put, if killing babies in the womb is not wrong, the very concept of “rights” is a joke.  The president's eagerness to make abortion his top reelection priority is deeply significant, and it would be a mistake to dismiss the statement as mere politics. This issue has taken on symbolic, moral, and spiritual weight for our nation, and it will continue to be a bitterly fought battleground. Despite setbacks and disappointments, we can agree with the president on one thing. De-prioritizing this issue is not an option. The stakes—for our society and its most vulnerable members—are simply too high.   This Breakpoint was co-authored by Shane Morris.

Central Texas resident Yeniifer Alvarez-Estrada Glick became pregnant in December 2021, three months after Texas banned virtually all abortions past six weeks of pregnancy and imposed criminal penalties on doctors carrying them out. Yeni had diabetes, severe hypertension and other medical conditions that made her pregnancy dangerous, and as the months wore on, she became sicker and sicker. In July 2022, Yeni and her 31-week-old fetus died. “Yeni's death was preventable… a therapeutic abortion, if offered and accepted, would probably have saved her life,” writes Stephania Taladrid in her new piece for the New Yorker called “The Life of The Mother.” We talk to Taladrid about Yeni and a new abortion landscape that puts more women's lives at risk. Guest: Stephania Taladrid, contributing writer, The New Yorker; author, the article "The Life of the Mother" - She was a 2023 Pulitzer Prize finalist for her reporting on the fall of Roe v. Wade.

No longer bound by Roe v. Wade to leave unborn babies defenseless, states across the country are enacting legal protections for children in the womb. But other states are using their powers for evil to promote, fund, and celebrate the slaughter of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at some of the most notable trends in state-level legislation.

If you are in medical school in this country right now, it can be challenging to choose to be trained to provide safe abortions. It's scary out there. The laws are confusing. The medical profession is vast. Why choose abortion care? And I would just say anyone who has made that choice and who is seeking out a seasoned doctor who's done these procedures for longer than I've been alive to learn their craft, those are the heroes that we need more of. - Gloria RivieraIf you're feeling frustrated by the backslide in reproductive rights, then you are not alone!

When 3rd year med student Megh Kumar told a mentor she'd decided to go into OB GYN, she got an unexpected piece of advice: don't.  It's been more than a year since the Supreme Court revoked constitutional protections for abortion rights with their Dobbs decision. Since then 13 states – including Megh's home state of Kentucky – have banned nearly all abortions. Some states have criminalized performing or abetting abortion. The effect has been chilling not only for patients who need them, but for doctors who feel it's their medical duty to provide them.  As the next generation of doctors like Megh enter this field of medicine, many are asking themselves if it's worth it. Abortion providers are often targets for harassment and violence, and studying in a restrictive state might limit training opportunities. Data show a more than 10% decrease in residency applications to OB GYN programs in restrictive states. If fewer doctors are training to be OB GYNs, what does that mean for the rest of us?  Learn more about how to advocate for abortion rights at WeTestify, and visit SisterSong.net for more information about reproductive justice.

It's been nearly one year since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that protected abortion rights for half a century. Many states have passed laws severely restricting or banning abortion. And in states like Texas, pregnant patients are being put in peril.  Freelance journalist Sophie Novack reports on the hard decisions Texas doctors and nurses are making in the aftermath of the state's ban. Providers are facing impossible choices when it comes to caring for pregnant patients with medical complications. Some fear that performing an abortion, even to save the life of a mother, could lead to criminal prosecution.  Reveal reporter Laura C. Morel has spent the last year investigating anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers. Now that abortions are severely restricted or banned in much of the country, these centers are trying to fill some of the health care gap that's emerged in conservative areas. In states that continue to allow abortions, crisis pregnancy centers have doubled down on their mission to discourage patients from terminating their pregnancies – often using deceptive practices to lure them into their facilities. Morel talks to a Florida woman who describes her experience at a Jacksonville crisis pregnancy center, where a volunteer deceived her into thinking it was an abortion clinic. As Morel and episode host Nadia Hamdan discover, deceiving pregnant women is part of these centers' long history.  Finally, we explore how a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision has made it harder to regulate anti-abortion centers – and how the lack of regulation harms clients. Morel tells the story of an anti-abortion nurse in Kentucky who reported infection control problems at the crisis pregnancy center where she volunteered, only to find that the facility is allowed to operate in a regulatory gray zone.
