This episode explores the intentional use of propaganda campaigns and misinformation by the “pro-life” movement to influence public opinion on abortion. Centered around the case of 24-year-old Selena who was arrested after she was found unconscious and bleeding from a miscarriage, we discuss how the more aptly named forced-birth movement has normalized people to the (otherwise crazy idea of the) criminalization of pregnancy. Showcasing how these misinformation tactics aren’t just limited to abortion, we also cover their use in national conversations on IVF and the recent SignalGate catastrophe. Highlights:
* The key tool that everyone already has to tackle misinformation
* When did leaking classified war plans become totally chill?
