Episode notes

Tia Freeman is a sex educator and reproductive justice activist in Nashville. She had an abortion prior to the birth of her son, but decided not to have more children after Roe v. Wade was overturned. "I just remember feeling a profound sense of loss because I had been able to have these choices"

The Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade is reshaping the way a lot of Americans think about pregnancy and abortion. Vox’s Marin Cogan talks to patients and doctors about how reproductive health care has changed in the months since Dobbs.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin and Jillian Weinberger, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey with help from Patrick Boyd and Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
