Host Jonah Platt interviews Allison Tombros Korman, the founder and executive director of the Red Tent Fund, a national abortion fund rooted in Jewish values. The conversation spans Korman's personal and professional journey, including her experiences with antisemitism in progressive spaces post October 7th, that led her to being forced out of her job at the DC Abortion Fund and eventually establishing the Red Tent Fund. They discuss the fund's mission to support abortion seekers through a Jewish lens, the impact of Roe v. Wade's overturning, misconceptions about third-trimester abortions, and the controversial 'Fund Abortion, Not War' campaign. The Red Tent Fund operates by providing money directly to clinics to aid any abortion seeker regardless of religion or political affiliation, reflecting values of bodily autonomy, compassion, and community care.DiscussedThe Birth of the Red Tent Fund (Jewish Values, Access for All)The Purpose of Abortion FundsThe Intent and Framework of Reproductive JusticeThe Jewish Perspectives on Abortion, As Interpreted by Rabbis and ScholarsChallenges and Realities of Abortion AccessFund Abortion, Not War: A Controversial MovementWhy People Must Travel Across State Lines for Reproductive HealthThe Research of medical Sociologist Katrina Kimport, PhD, on Why People Get Third Trimester AbortionsThe Intersection of Abortion Rights and Anti-Israel SentimentsMentioned In The Episode:Red Tent FundRed Tent Fund FacebookRed Tent Fund InstagramDonate to Red Tent FundDC Abortion FundAntisemitism and the DCAFAllison Tombros Korman Tablet Magazine ArticleTablet MagazineRoe v.
