Episode 76: “Hey boss, will you approve my IUD?”

This week cellmates Moji, Marie and Lizz break down the latest case before SCOTUS as they hear arguments on the  bullshit notion that your boss should have a say about your birth control. Plus we look at a win in the bluegrass state, what lack of abortion access means for pregnant folks in Africa and an interview with co-owner of the Dupont Clinic, Maritza Arias- Basemore on the challenges of providing later abortions during Covid-19
