Irene and Sandy explore the current reality facing women with the overturning of Roe V Wade as well as the medical and legal risks surrounding women’s bodily autonomy. Guests Diane Lamotte RPh (Retired Pharmacist) and Kate Flewelling, Associate General Counsel at the University of Michigan, share their work on the American College Health Association Reproductive Rights Advocacy Task Force. They walk us through what’s happening, what’s coming, and how we can work together to restore and protect our reproductive health and rights. We discuss the basics of birth control and different medications used to prevent and terminate a pregnancy as well as save lives, and the legal ramifications following the Dobbs decision and recent state laws.
