The chapter delves into a personal journey of battling brain cancer, expressing gratitude for healthcare providers, and reflecting on mortality and family impact. It also discusses the consequences of abortion bans, focusing on challenges faced by women seeking abortion care, the restrictive laws in states like Texas and Louisiana, and the shift towards criminalizing abortion without exceptions, including in cases of rape and incest.
Abortion will be a key issue in the election this fall and it's also the focus of two Supreme Court rulings expected later this month. This week, Kara speaks with Cecile Richards, activist and former President of Planned Parenthood, about the fight for reproductive rights in the post-Roe era, where abortion fits into the electoral landscape, the potential outcomes of the two SCOTUS rulings, and how technology is enhancing access to abortion.
On a more personal note, Cecile also talks about her recent brain cancer diagnosis and how it’s impacted her work as a lifelong activist.
