Tacos. Beer. Abortion.
from Traitor Radio Hosted by Traitor Radio
Abortion stigma is real, y'all! It can be scary, intimidating and anxiety-inducing to talk positively about abortion -- which is why Traitor Radio host Andrea Grimes launched the Taco or Beer Challenge, a month-long fundraising movement to support abortion access. It's the most delicious homework assignment we've given you on the show so far. Our storyteller on this episode is Aimee Arrambide, a badass reproductive justice crusader, lawyer and Texan of Mexican and Filipino descent who is part of We Testify, a group of storytellers working to bust abortion stigma. Aimee's story is about abortion, of course, but it's about so much more: It's about her mental health journey, her professional career, and her relationship with her father -- who was also an abortion provider. Aimee's story beautifully weaves her abortion experience into the larger fabric of her life -- she talks about what an important decision it was for her, and how essential it was that she had access to abortion during a time in her life when, as she'll tell you, she was approaching "rock bottom." Listen, then take the Taco or Beer Challenge by eating a taco or drinking a beer (or both) and donating to your local abortion fund.
