Slow Burn - Roe v. Wade: Get Married or Go Home

In 1970, 22-year-old Shirley Wheeler got an illegal abortion in
Florida. When she refused to tell the police who performed the
procedure, she was arrested and charged with manslaughter. In the
months that followed, she’d be prosecuted and publicly condemned.
She’d also become the unlikely face of the fight for reproductive
rights. Season 7 of Slow Burn is produced by Susan Matthews, Samira
Tazari, Sophie Summergrad, and Sol Werthan. Derek John is Sr.
Supervising Producer of Narrative Podcasts. Editorial direction by
Josh Levin, Derek John and Johanna Zorn. Mixing by Merritt Jacob
and Kevin Bendis. Our theme music is composed by Alexis Cuadrado.

the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Howard G.
