Stop Making Decisions Over My Body
In a special 2 part program by Making Contact we explore new safe at-home abortion options and the growing movement for “self-managed abortions.”
Amidst changes to the Supreme Court of the United States, and after decades of restrictions to abortion access across the country, people continue to find ways to make this vital procedure safer, more affordable, and more accessible. Advances in medicine and discoveries made by women themselves have changed the kind of options available outside of clinics.
Special thanks to Jake Warga and Hannah Nguyen (State of the Human, at Stanford Storytelling Project) for the Janes piece and to the Mary Wohlford Foundation.
