The struggle for reproductive freedom is often full of sorrows, setbacks, and stumbling blocks. What is the role of lament – being open and honest about our sadness – in the work of seeking liberation and justice for all? Rev. Terry Williams is joined by our Executive Director Elaina Ramsey for an episode filled with hard questions & raw honesty about how doing work that can sometimes break your heart is made holier by honoring your own grief. Lifting up tenderness as a gift to be celebrated, Elaina and Terry explore what it means to deal with grief while striving to do the work of reproductive health, rights, and justice in sustainable ways. Find comfort in this episode that honors the power of “keeping it real” and that leans into our collective human vulnerability as people who grieve and mourn.

Resisting injustice can be wearying work! In this latest episode, Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams explore the “why” of resistance — the purpose of struggling against forces that are seeking to harm our communities & the necessity of refocusing on the positive future that reproductive freedom advocacy seeks to build. Join Kelley and Terry for a repro and religion reframing of the movement moment we're all living through & take some time to reflect on the importance of faithfully refusing to comply with unjust actors, mandates, and systems.

Aboveground, Manhattan's Riverside Park provides open space for the densely populated Upper West Side. Beneath its surface run railroad tunnels, disused for decades, where over the years unhoused people have taken shelter. The sociologist Terry Williams ventured into the tunnel residents' world, seeking to understand life on the margins and out of sight. He visited the tunnels between West Seventy-Second and West Ninety-Sixth Streets hundreds of times from 1991 to 1996, when authorities cleared them out to make way for Amtrak passenger service, and again between 2000 and 2020.  Life Underground: Encounters with People Below the Streets of New York (Columbia UP, 2024) explores this society below the surface and the varieties of experience among unhoused people. Bringing together anecdotal material, field observations, photographs, transcribed conversations with residents, and excerpts from personal journals, Williams provides a vivid ethnographic portrait of individual people, day-to-day activities, and the social world of the underground and their engagement with the world above, which they call “topside.” He shows how marginalized people strive to make a place for themselves amid neglect and isolation as they struggle for dignity. Featuring Williams's distinctive ethnographic eye and deep empathy for those on the margins, Life Underground shines a unique light on a vanished subterranean community.

2025 brought what feels like several years' worth of experiences: a new federal political administration, drastic worsening of life for families in the U.S. due to Project 2025, and a deepening struggle for reproductive freedom in Ohio and beyond. Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams look back on the year from both community and organizational perspectives, exploring how the seemingly darkest of times can be fruitful ground for growth, strategic development, and expectant preparation. Kelley and Terry highlight the amazing things that happened at Faith Choice Ohio in the past year including launching our on-demand Faith for Repro Training Center, developing 10 new mini-zine offerings, organizing across regions with various clergy & congregations, and much more!

Ohio enshrined reproductive freedom in the state constitution in 2023, but sneaky attempts to thwart the will of the people are still very much in play. Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams take aim at some sly laws slipped in to the state budget and shoved through the latest legislative session that seek to burden reproductive healthcare providers, stigmatize abortion seekers, and ultimately force a minority religious viewpoint onto the bodies of every Ohioan. Calling out the dishonesty and religious hypocrisy of crafty anti-abortion zealots, Kelley and Terry help listeners gain perspective, centering this episode on the important truth at the core of this struggle — that people who support abortion-positive policies are in the majority in Ohio and beyond.

Sharing her experience as a Catholic woman living in southern Ohio, special guest Sister Shannon joins Rev. Terry Williams for a discussion about bodies, belovedness, and boldly claiming a living faith. As a faithful Roman Catholic believer who has experienced dating, single motherhood, and now marriage, Sister Shannon reflects on the meaningfulness of being a pro-choice person of faith who trusts other people to make choices about their own bodies while expecting the same trust from them in return. Lifting up her lifegiving encounters with our partner organization Catholics for Choice, Sister Shannon discusses her journey with finding solidarity and wholeness among the majority of Roman Catholics who support reproductive freedom (no matter what the church's hierarchy has to say!)

Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams tear into federal government shutdown specifics about how slashing SNAP — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — is a direct assault on reproductive health, rights, and justice. Detailing the connection between food security and reproductive justice, Kelley and Rev.

Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams address the irony of so-called “personhood laws” that claim to support a moral agenda while actually stripping citizens of bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. Addressing the immorality of elevating the state-dictated privilege of zygotes above the constitutional rights of pregnant persons, this episode dives into the religious manipulation that underlies legal personhood strategies as used by anti-abortion lobbyists and ideologues. Taking Ohio as a model case, Kelley and Rev. Terry detail how special interest groups and the politicians in their pockets push personhood for embryos while ignoring the basic demands of living, breathing children and adults in unholy and altogether dangerous ways.   Links to discussed content:  Ohio Lawmakers reintroduce Fetal Personal Bill: https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/10/08/ohio-republican-lawmakers-look-to-regulate-abortion-push-against-constitutional-amendment/ Ohio GOP anti-abortion politics resurface at Statehouse after a few years in retreat: https://signalohio.org/ohio-gop-anti-abortion-politics-resurface-at-statehouse/ House Bill 370: www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/136/hb370/documents HB 370 Text: https://search-prod.lis.state.oh.us/api/v2/general_assembly_136/legislation/hb370/00_IN/pdf/ When Fetuses Gain Personhood: Understanding the Impact on IVF, Contraception, Medical Treatment, Criminal Law, Child Support, and Beyond: www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/fetal-personhood-with-appendix-UPDATED-1.pdf Ohio's Largest Bribery Scheme: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/22/ohio-house-speaker-arrested-republican/ How 'fetal personhood' in Alabama's IVF ruling evolved from fringe to mainstream: www.npr.org/2024/03/14/1238102768/fetal-personhood-alabama-ivf Killing the Black Body, by Dorothy Roberts: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/155575/killing-the-black-body-by-dorothy-roberts/ Personhood Measures Issue Brief: www.acog.org/advocacy/abortion-is-essential/trending-issues/issue-brief-personhood-measures Kipling, the 'White Man's Burden,' and U.S. Imperialism: https://monthlyreview.org/articles/kipling-the-white-mans-burden-and-u-s-imperialism/ Music by Korbin Jones

Rising prices have hit every aspect of the economy, and reproductive health services are no exception. Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams discuss a fabulous tool for estimating the price of abortion that takes into account often ignored costs like travel, lodging, sedation, and more. Exploring sources for abortion funding, Kelley and Terry explain why states like Ohio have decided to not prioritize funding reproductive care and why mutual aid through abortion funds and practical support organizations like The Jubilee Fund are closing the gap for abortion seekers in need.

When the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a death blow in 2022 to federal abortion protections offered by Roe v. Wade, a gruesome patchwork quilt of abortion regulations covered the nation, creating drastic gaps to abortion access from state to state. Three years into this new “normal,” Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams talk about what life is like now that nobody got what they really wanted from the U.S. Supreme Court. Focusing on the impact that confusing abortion laws and vague, ever-changing repro rights restrictions have on patients seeking care, Kelley and Terry frame the present as a prelude to what's possible through religious freedom protections, communal resistance, and effective organizing in the coming years.

After a 2023 ballot initiative confirmed that anti-abortion sentiment is a minority position in Ohio, the state's anti-abortion industrial complex split into two fairly distinct ideological camps. Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams explore the rift between Ohio's “Pro-Life Movement” and their foil, the “Abolish Human Abortion” sect — including why those names are better classed as propaganda than truly descriptive. Drawing on strong theological reflection, the history of U.S. reproductive rights, and basic grade-school logic, Kelley and Terry take listeners through the break-up we all knew was coming as the anti-abortion rhetoric starts to not make sense even to its own practitioners.
