S2 E16: We Are Going to Win: Talking Abortion Access with Amelia Bonow

The Manic Episodes

Mary and Wyatt are fired up because Amelia Bonow is on the pod and holy shit, she’s a force of nature. Amelia is the founding director of Shout Your Abortion, an organization working to normalize abortion and elevate paths to abortion access regardless of legality. Amelia also serves on the board of directors of Abortion Care Network, which serves and represents independent abortion providers all over the country. Amelia lives in Seattle and loves talking about abortion, watching her friends succeed, and laughing at other people but not in a mean way. Amelia is a scorpio sun, pisces moon, and gemini rising, and she is so sad but really, truly, totally believes we are going to win. She’s @ameliamaris and SYA is @shoutyourabortion.

Also on the agenda: Our new segment, Conservative Politician or Movie Villain?; getting hella smart and eating tiny peanut butter cups; and poems by Ruth Lepsen and I.S. Jones.
