Season 1 Episode 6 features an interview with Elizabeth Estrada (more commonly known as Eli) - a Mexican immigrant organizer based in the Bronx working on reproductive justice in New York City and State. In this episode we discuss fake clinics, also known as crisis pregnancy centers.
We do a deep dive into how fake clinics are intentionally confusing and coercing people to give birth by creating barriers and detours, as well as providing misinformation to people who are looking to learn about and access abortion.
Please be sure to listen to the prelude episode for more information about why this podcast examines experiences across the spectrum of sexual and reproductive health, including pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, abortion and more.
