Description:

In this two-part episode, we discuss the importance of reproductive rights and why we should engage with this issue for the general welfare of our communities.

In part one of this episode, we talk to the president of the National Institute for Reproductive Health, Andrea Miller, about the impact that reproductive legislation has in society and how it’s historically been affected by safety and public health concerns. With a higher level of civic engagement, we can secure safe, supportive, and affordable reproductive care. 

Learn the Facts:

Polls show that 80% of the public supports safe, affordable, quality abortion care, as long as it is legal, which it is. The percentage of women who are already mothers and obtain an abortion is 59%. The highest abortion rate is among women who are 20 to 29 years old. A woman spends approximately 30 years of her life trying not to get pregnant.    Say no to taboos:

Treat talking about reproductive rights and health like talking about healthcare issues that affects all families in our communities. One in four women have an abortion in their lifetime. Over 90% of poll respondents say that it should be supportive, safe, and informed by medically accurate information.    Talk to your elected officials:

There is a divergence between policymakers and the public. Be informed about ballot initiatives to roll back rights and be engaged in the voting booth. Have a direct conversation with your elected representatives and communicate your priorities.
