09 The overturning of Roe vs Wade – and what about abortion rights in Australia?

The US Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe vs Wade will impact millions of people who need an abortion – but some voices are missing in the uproar, while others are busy touting gun rights.

In this episode, Mardi and Lizzy explore:

• What the Roe vs Wade ruling means for people who can get pregnant in the US
• Abortion rights in so-called Australia
• The absence of cis men's voices in the abortion conversation
• The enraging hypocrisy between abortion rights and gun laws in the US
