Terry Williams dive into the long-standing tension in the repro freedom movement between immediate structural support and long-term advocacy. As abortion funding and mutual aid priorities are advanced alongside litigation and culture change strategies, finding the balance between various essential elements of repro freedom work can seem daunting.
Come along as Kelley and Terry make sense of a sustainable balance between the immediate and the strategic, addressing specifically the recent rift between abortion support organizations and big national campaigns — all while seeing future possibilities through spiritual, literary, and liberationist lenses.

Kitchen Table Cult PodS6E4: Doing It For The Babies 2: IVF Bans and MifeWhat is the future of the pro-life movement without simplistic messaging focused on Roe v. Wade to galvanize conservatives? The nuances of reproductive health science and privacy laws are up for debate, and the unity that the pro-life movement once relied on is fissuring under the pressure to rally support around the details. Banning IVF in Alabama was a deeply unpopular move by the courts, and this week SCOTUS is hearing oral arguments about a case centered on the 23-year-old status of FDA approval for mifepristone. Leading those arguments? Erin Morrow Hawley, ADF senior counsel and the wife of MO...
