Not This Again

Well… Donald Trump is back for a second term. We hate it here!

This week, Jess and Imani go through what reproductive health-care hellscape we can expect from the next Trump administration: legally establishing fetal “personhood,” federal surveillance of pregnant people, and banning abortion pills—all eventually leading to a national abortion ban.

We’re preparing for a parade of horribles.

You’ve heard us say it before, and you’ll certainly hear us say it again: The only way out is through. And we’re going to get through this together.
