#246 - Childfree by Choice with Therese Shechter

from Nonprofit Lowdown · host Rhea Wong

In this episode, we're joined by the fierce Therese Shechter, the brain behind "My So-Called Selfish Life," who's flipping the script on pronatalism and societal norms. From tearing apart the underpinnings of pronatalism to exposing its ties with white supremacy and racism, we're setting the stage for an eye-opening conversation. We deep-dive into how our policies, driven by hidden pronatalist forces, shape our society and what it means to be a woman. Next, we explore powerful real-world scenarios where pronatalist policies are taking center stage. As we advocate for equitable policies, join us for a conversation about childfree living as a choice, and a right. "I think that being able to make the decision that you don't want to be pregnant and then having a procedure where you're no longer pregnant is a basic human right." - Therese Links: My So-Called Selfish Life Therese Shechter's Twitter Trixie Films Additional Resources: https://www.newlegacyinstitute.com/
