Remembering Rosie's Abortions
Episode description
The right to a safe abortion has been taken away from millions of people in the United States.
In light of Roe v Wade being overturned last week, we wanted to share the story of Rosie's abortions.
Solidarity protests are happening around Australia this week. Find one here: https://www.pedestrian.tv/news/roe-v-wade-australia-protest/

From Rosie:
Every woman should have an unequivocal right to make decisions about her own body. It’s that simple.
On the other side of the world, I felt so defeated by this news. Just… overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness. But one thing I’m good at is telling stories, so I figure I can at least use that skill to contribute in a way I know how. I’m one of millions of women who have made this choice about my own body, and I’m in a position to tell that story. It’s not a big contribution, but it’s something I can do.
So here is just the gist of my abortions.
