We’re now only three weeks until the midterms and today, we’re focusing on the critical issue of abortion rights. We’ve talked about it before and we will keep talking about it until we are all guaranteed the right to choose for ourselves when (or if) to become a parent. The hosts are joined by Christina Ward, a woman in North Carolina who wrote an op-ed about how important abortion access has been for her personally. Amanda then sits down with Dr. Diana Greene Foster, the director of the Turnaway Study, which looked at the lasting effects of having – or being denied – an abortion. Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to early voting, Stacey Abrams, and the Akron Children’s Hospital in this episode’s “Toast to Joy.”With the election just around the corner, it’s time to organize - and who better to help us rally our squad than Amy Schumer? On Tuesday, October 25th, she’ll be joining us for an interactive event where everyone –including Amy– will pick at least 10 friends that we can reach out to about what’s at stake in this election.And if you can’t make it, don’t worry we still got you!
