In this episode of The Barrie Rose Podcast, I talk to Pari from the Women in America duo about Reproductive justice, the intersection of other social issues and using laughter to cope.

NOTABLE QUOTES THAT MADE ME THROW MY HANDS UP 🙌:

“Life drastically changed for anybody with a uterus in the United States of America, frankly.”

“Freedom of movement is also a form of autonomy.”

“You cannot claim that you are for the children while also throwing children in cages.”

“One of the markers of a society’s development is how they treat women and girls.”

“In any normal society, that would be considered bat-shit crazy, but that is where we are.”
