For the Love of Roe

On this episode we'll hear from Michelle Erenberg of Lift Louisiana, Steffani Bangel of the New Orleans Abortion Fund, Kathaleen Pittman and Merritt Rebouche from the Hope Medical Group for Women (at the center of the June Medical Services vs Russo case, decided just this past summer) and more about abortion access in Louisiana, the ongoing fight to oppose Amendment 1, and how communities face not just limited access to abortion, but limited access to healthcare in general.

In this episode I interview Tammi Kromenaker, the director of the only abortion provider in North Dakota, Red River Women's Clinic, along with Kristie Wolff, the executive director the North Dakota Women's Network, and a number of other fierce advocates in the state.  Learn what it means to be "North Dakota Nice" and how advocates have fought to save the ERA in ND and to oppose a number of restrictions.  We also discuss the ND "medication abortion reversal" bill that requires physicians to deliver false information to patients and is caught up in a lawsuit taken on by the American Medical Association.
