In 1971, a French weekly magazine published the Manifesto of the 343 -- 343 women who publicly announced they'd had an abortion when the procedure was illegal. The next day, a satirical paper called them the 343 "bitches." Three years later, they paved the way for the first legalization of abortion in France's history. The key?Talking about abortion -- campaigning for it in their day-to-day lives.
In this episode, Kate and Jamia talk to one of the 343, who helped shift the narrative around abortion in France, and to a messaging expert to bring those lessons to the American context.
