I Weigh - Reflecting on My Abortion with Grace Campbell

Jameela welcomes her good friend & acclaimed UK comedian Grace Campbell for a thoughtful & open discussion about her recent abortion. Grace talks about the responsibilities of casual sex, unplanned pregnancy, the unsettling medical system she experienced, and the surprisingly long aftermath with her mental and physical changes. It’s also a frank conversation about the inequalities around abortion and how intense the grief could be throughout her life-changing decision.

 

Warning: This episode covers reproductive rights and details a personal story about abortion in a caring way, please keep in mind while listening and feel free to skip if you’re feeling sensitive around this topic.
