Welcome to ReProductive Conversations, a monthly podcast brought to you by the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) and Digital Drama Productions.
A series of discussions centred around reproductive choice, from the contraception needed to avoid conception, to how to feed a newborn baby, and, of course, the continued fight for abortion rights. Reproductive choice is not just about starting or ending a pregnancy – it’s also about protecting reproductive autonomy across our lifetimes. We live in a culture where women of childbearing age are increasingly treated as “pre-pregnant” – warned against alcohol use, denied medication – on the basis of protecting a hypothetical fetus. Pregnant women find themselves increasingly monitored and their choices restricted. Information is not always presented in a way that enables women to make their own choices based on the available evidence because they are not always trusted to make the “right” decision. Join hosts Clare Murphy and Katherine O’Brien and their guests to explore the true meaning of reproductive choice, and barriers we face in the UK and globally today.
Who are BPAS?
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service, BPAS, is a not-for-profit charity that provides reproductive healthcare to over 100,000 women a year in the UK, and we are also the leading advocate for reproductive rights in the UK. We believe all women should have the right to make their own decisions in and around pregnancy, from the contraception they use to avoid pregnancy right the way through to how they decide to feed their newborn baby, with access to evidence-based information to underpin their choices and high quality services and support to exercise them.
