Sometimes You Just Need To Talk To Cecile Richards (with Cecile Richards and Kellie Love Titus)

On today’s episode, Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark and Rachel Vindman talk about empowering women and giving them choices... both in their reproductive health and with good economic policies. They discuss their own evolution on the issue of abortion and the importance of the Child Tax Credit, bringing on Kellie Love Titus (a suburban mom and owner of a dance studio) to discuss balancing work with childcare.

Then Amanda gets the chance to sit down with the one and only Cecile Richards— former long-time head of Planned Parenthood, the daughter of former TX Governor Ann Richards, and the current co-chair of American Bridge 21st Century. Their interview happened to fall on Cecile’s mom’s birthday AND on the very day that a horrific new abortion bill was passed in Texas. Cecile and Amanda discuss abortion, the American Rescue Plan, and the best advice Cecile ever got from her mom.

Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to camping, the Laconia Indian Historical Association’s annual Pow Wow, connecting with friends, and returning to the classroom in this week’s “Toast to Joy.”

If you’re outraged over the latest attack on women’s rights in Texas, let’s make sure our elected officials know that suburban women will not accept this attack on our rights. Take our No Bans No Bounties pledge here and commit to never voting for a candidate who supports criminalizing abortion.
