About this episode

This week, we’re bringing you a special feed drop from Aborsh, a podcast that examines why talking about abortion is still such a big deal, what “choice” really means and looks like, and why that answer is different for different people.

In this episode, host Rachel Cairns takes a critical look at how abortion is represented in media and entertainment with the research initiative Abortion Onscreen and journalists Nora Loreto and Liz Renzetti—and what those portrayals reveal about the broader forces threatening bodily autonomy and gender equality, as well as how we can confront them.
