Abortion access: impact of Florida's six-week ban across the South, and an oral history project documents stories of providers and patients
Description
Doctors, researchers, and students at Duke University are developing an oral history archive to shed light on the stories of abortion patients and providers impacted by the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision and North Carolina’s 12-week ban.
In part one of this conversation, co-host Leoneda Inge talks with three doctors about why they're contributing to this audio archive, which captures reproductive health history, happening now.
Then, Leoneda Inge is joined by two students who are also involved in the oral history project, as well as by a reproductive justice advocate, to talk about the disproportionate impact of abortion restrictions on historically-marginalized populations, particularly Black women, and how abortion bans impact Black maternal health.
