In this episode, we're diving into a topic we touched on last season, one that’s often at the beginning of many abortion stories: birth control. What we love about it. What we wish was better about it. Why it should be part of publicly funded health care, and how it can even help reframe conversations about abortion. See the play that inspired the podcast. ‘Hypothetical Baby’ is on stage in Toronto from Feb 22 - Mar 8.
