In this episode, we talk about the short and long-term effects of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, what exactly an abortion involves, the surprising inflexibility of some state laws, the people who will be most impacted by a lack of access to safe abortions, what you need to think about when it comes to period tracking apps, resources you can access if you need help or support, and more.
