Voices of Abortion: Renee Bracey Sherman on Social Justice and Reproductive Rights
“Abortion is safer than getting your wisdom teeth taken out, but you were just really fucking unlucky and ill-managed yourself. Every time you bleed is a new invitation, an invitation to revel in the resilience of your body, of your womb, of your ability to heal. May you celebrate this radical act of self-love.”
Ever felt the weight of a moment too big to ignore? That's the vibe in this special episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', where Jay Shifman hands the mic to Renee Bracey Sherman, a fierce advocate for reproductive justice. Renee, the brain behind We Testify, dives deep into the often-silenced stories of those who have had abortions, pushing for a world where their voices are heard and respected.
The episode kicks off with a powerful narrative from 'Abortion, With Love' before shifting to Renee's candid chat with Omkari Williams on 'Stepping Into Truth'. They tackle the gritty intersections of social justice, touching on how racism, classism, and media representation shape the abortion debate. Renee doesn't shy away from the tough stuff, highlighting the need for empathy and compassion in pro-choice messaging.
If you're looking to understand the complexities of reproductive rights and social justice, this conversation is a must-listen. It's raw, real, and incredibly timely.
