Episode 152: Abort This Texa$

CW: Abortion - If this is a sensitive topic for you, we'd advise skipping this week. Hi friends, welcome to The V Spot: A Survival Podcast for Best Friends! This week Professor Katt has done a boat load of research and is going to give a lesson on abortion. We'll do our damnedest to keep it light and infomative. * A brief history lesson featuring the Quickening * Racism ruins it again * Why the Handmaid's Tale imagry isn't the best * A bunch of politics makes it all worse And as a quick note - we're using the word 'women' in the episode a lot and we just want to be clear what we mean - someone who could become pregnant, not a gender identification. Want to donate to help with what's up in Texa$ and support healthcare for women?
