Ep. 3 - Reproductive Freedom on the Ballot: What Ohio’s November Choice Means for Voters

In this first installment of our Reproductive Freedom Series we hear from Lauren and Anna Belle about their hopes, fears, and frustrations surrounding the upcoming November vote on a constitutional ballot initiative that would enshrine reproductive rights into Ohio law. Addressing the five main parts of the proposed amendment - birth control, miscarriage care, the right to continue one's own pregnancy, fertility treatment, and abortion - our guests open up about what life is like as Appalachians who need access to reproductive healthcare.
