This week is a bumper special tackling the one issue everyone (not just women!) should be talking about this week: Abortion rights. As Alabama passes the most restrictive abortion laws in the United States as a direct attack on Roe v. Wade, we speak directly to YOU, our listeners, about how access to safe and affordable abortion has impacted your life. We also look at the surprisingly restrictive abortion laws that exist in New South Wales, and the ongoing debacle in Northern Ireland. Plus – Izzy has a major announcement, which sparks us to talk about the concept of ‘workism’ and how in 2019 our identities are so tied up with our jobs.Donate here to help women in the US afford abortions: https://nnaf.formstack.com/forms/donateRecommendations:Chernobyl (2019) on HBOGore Vidal’s Palimpsest‘Teenage Girls and Dating Violence’ in The New York Timeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/21/health/teenage-girls-dating-violence.html‘What Book Would You Recommend to Anyone?’ on PrimerDead to Me (2019) on Netflixhttps://primer.com.au/what-book-would-you-recommend-to-anyone/ ‘Vanity is Not A Deadly Sin.
