124: Plan C, Abortion Stigma, + Clarifying Your Options with Amy Merrill

To help us make sense of the SCOTUS ruling on abortion rights, I
have with me today Amy Merrill, the founder of Plan C, an
organization here to give you the information + support necessary
for you to take back the agency of your own body.


This is an incredible conversation we get into, one that not only
touches on what’s happening in our political system around
abortion, but also what’s brought us to this point.


In this episode, you’ll hear:


The real process of getting an abortion.

What is the plan C pill, and how does it work?

What does the SCOTUS ruling actually mean for us?

How American media and politics have shaped our perceptions
around abortion.

Creative solutions for states who have limited access.

Self managed abortions and the health/safety concerns for
using the pill.

Cycle tracking apps and data privacy.

How we can begin to rebalance this power over the agency of
our bodies + our reproductive rights.



Whether you’re in this position or not, it’s an episode that
reaches beyond the surface argument + invites you to identify, be
with + question the underlying structures of our culture.
