Episode 06: Going Beyond Choice

In this episode, we explore the crucial question: what are we getting wrong when it comes to our conversations around hormonal birth control post Roe – and are we even having the right conversations? First, we take a look at the idea of choice, a cornerstone of the modern reproductive rights movement. We’re asking, what are the limitations of focusing on choice in conversations around reproductive rights – and what are the alternatives? Then we take a look at how women are socialized into using certain forms of contraception, and the social pressures that women face when trying to opt for non-hormonal methods. Finally, we get into one of our key questions: why is it so hard to critique the pill, and what do we lose when we lump genuine criticism of certain birth control methods in with conservative misinformation?
