Dr. DeShawn Taylor Pt. 1 - Desert Star Family Planning

Dr. DeShawn Taylor joins the podcast to discuss her book Undue Burden: A Black, Woman Physician on Being Christian and Pro-Abortion in the Reproductive Justice Movement.   In this first half of our conversation, Dr. DeShawn helps us deconstruct some of the societal myths that we have been burdened with over time with facts as well as her experience providing abortion care over the years.  We discuss how pro-choice rhetoric does not advance our needs, but rather perpetuates the stigma that surrounds abortion that we have been spoon-fed by white christian patriarchy.  She explains the Reproductive Justice Movement and how it provides a more comprehensive framework for a healthy society.    Listen as she takes ME through her deconstruction process with my OWN internalized narrative about my OWN abortion.  It's like a mini-therapy session.. she really helped me release some of my own shame that I didn't even realize was bottled up!  For more information about Dr. Taylor's clinic:  www.desertstarfp.com; Her non-profit for tax-deductible donations:  www.desertstarfp.org; or for consulting/political activism:  www.healthjusticmd.netUndue Burden is available where all books are sold.  Here is the Amazon link:  https://a.co/d/46sgHm2
