Why are Lawmakers Legislating Medicine? Dr. Jamila Perritt on the Harm of Abortion Bans - Episode 15

Anti-abortion extremists are going after every single person involved in accessing abortion care—from patients to their doctors.  Abortion bans make it impossible for doctors to take care of their patients with the dignity and autonomy we deserve. When you deny people access to abortion care, women and pregnant people die.  In this episode of My Body. My Pod., Mini Timmaraju sits down with OB-GYN and President of Physicians for Reproductive Health Dr. Jamila Perritt to discuss how abortion bans and restrictions harm patients and providers, and what’s really at stake when elected officials try to interfere with medical decisions.  Episode recorded in DC on March 25, 2026.  Explore more episode resources: reproforall.org/podEP14  Sign up to get involved with Reproductive Freedom for All at reproforall.org/podlistener/ or Text POD to 59791.  By providing your phone number, you are consenting to receive mobile alerts from Reproductive Freedom for All at 59791 and other phone numbers.
