About this episode

AFP Podcast co-creator and editor Steven R. Brown, MD, speaks with Ali Block, MD, family physician, abortion provider, and host of the Nocturnists: Post-Roe America podcast series. Steve and Ali talk about abortion care in family medicine and changes since the 2022 Supreme Court Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. Dr. Block shares ways in which reproductive health care has changed in different areas of the United States since the Dobbs decision, how her team created the Nocturnists: Post-Roe America podcast, her journey to communicate her own story, the culture of silence around abortion care, advocacy for abortion care, and ways in which the Dobbs decision affects medical education. The Nocturnists: Post-Roe America seven-part podcast series is available on the Nocturnists website or wherever you get your podcasts.
