Roe v. Wade Has Been Overturned
In this episode of the Girlish Podcast, the two discuss the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. It does not stop at women's rights. A scary thing is happening in America right now and it's important to be vocal about the injustices we are seeing unfold in front of our eyes. This episode is sad, dark, and hard to get through. We did not want to have to talk about this but it is important we stand against hatred and oppression. Banning abortion does not stop abortion. It stops access to safe abortions. Women will die. We are scared.
