1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Stephane 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: never told your protection of iHeart Radio, and welcome to 3 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: another Monday putty. Where that should be like game show 4 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: theme songs behind our introductions? Maybe just me, I don't know, 5 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: I could just read me, it could read um. So 6 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: we've had a lot to say about the recent upheaval 7 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: about Roe versus Way with a Supreme Court and the 8 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: possibility of it being overturned. I guess maybe more like 9 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: a probability. Before we start, we are going to talk 10 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: about very personal stories and it does involve mentions of 11 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: sexual abuse, past trauma when it comes to childbirth and pregnancy. 12 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: So just be aware, I know, just talking about this 13 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,959 Speaker 1: issue can be traumatizing in itself. So if you need 14 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: a minute before you decide to go into these stories, 15 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: pause right here. But throughout our times we have asked 16 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: if you listeners wanted to share your stories and or 17 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: had the strength to do so, because it's a lot. 18 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on, There's been protests happening, there's 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: a lot of conversations, a lot of activity going down, 20 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: especially because it is election season for so many of 21 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: us in the U. S um and with that, we've 22 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: had a couple of listeners who have sent in their 23 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: experiences in first and foremost, which want to say thank 24 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: you so much for sharing a personal story that you 25 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: don't have to you. You don't have to tell these stories, 26 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: but when you do, it does bring a connection for 27 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: so many who have experienced similar things or have thought 28 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: about these similar things, and just it feels nice to 29 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: feel like you're not alone, especially when the main media 30 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: seems to scream at you that you are. Yeah, and 31 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: I think again, you don't owe anybody these stories, but 32 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: when you are willing to share, it does a lot 33 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: in de stigmatizing it, which is very very important. Yes, um, 34 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: so we did want to take the time to read 35 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: about personal experiences. Today. We do have a shout out 36 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: to an organization that another listener sent us and we 37 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: want to go ahead and celebrate that too. And then 38 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: if you, after hearing these stories, have something to say, 39 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: would like to share yours, please know you're always welcome 40 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: to and we appreciate you taking that time. Yes, absolutely 41 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: we do. Okay, so we wanted to start with a 42 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: message from Tiffany. From seventeen to twenty one, I was 43 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: in a relationship with an abusive partner. He wasn't physical, 44 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: but the emotional pain was awful. We ended up getting 45 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: married the spring I turned one, shortly after I found 46 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: out he had shared intimate pictures of me online with friends. 47 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: While I was attempting to erase the pictures from his 48 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: blocked computer via backdoor access, I found pictures of young 49 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: girl roles. He said they were over eighteen, but either way, 50 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: it still gross to me that they were made to 51 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: look like kids and other gross stuff dealing with sexual assault. 52 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: After that, we split up, but we're technically still married, 53 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: and I ended up pregnant. In Ohio, if you are married, 54 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: the husband automatically is considered the father, even if he's not. 55 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: I could not let him have rights to a child. 56 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: I could not leave it a chance, so I got 57 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: an abortion. I couldn't bear the thought that he could 58 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: have access to a child after seeing the stuff on 59 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: his computer. It was hard. I always wanted to be 60 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: a mama, and ending my first confirmed pregnancy was hard, 61 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: especially after seeing the ultrasound. I was devastated, but I 62 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: was technically homeless going through a divorce, which would have 63 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: been delayed because of the pregnancy, and just switched jobs 64 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: on top of all of the other gross stuff. It 65 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: was not a healthy time to bring in a child. 66 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: It was the best decision, hard, but best. Now I 67 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: have two beautiful boys in a healthy relationship and healing. Right. 68 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: I have to commend Tiffany and sharing her story because 69 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: she's not the only one. And I think that's the 70 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: biggest conversation that we had. We were going messaging back 71 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: and forth, and the fact that it was what was 72 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: best for her and that she was the only one 73 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: who could say that was best for her. And she 74 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: is now thriving, doing what she needed to do, driving 75 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: with her beautiful family and learning what it is to 76 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: grow as a parent. And I think that's beautiful. But yeah, 77 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: I see these conversations a lot where they want children. 78 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: It's not a thing. They want to have babies, and unfortunately, 79 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: whatever circumstances, maybe it's not the time, or it's it 80 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: could be a danger. And that's that big conversation. And 81 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: again she also mentioned the fact that pregnancy would have 82 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: delayed her divorce, which is in a lot of states 83 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: um that you cannot get divorced during a pregnancy. You 84 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: have to wait. There's so much to this that really 85 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: puts the power in the hand ends of the husband, 86 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: and it does talk about the fact that this was 87 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: a plant power play over women and ownership over women 88 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: in general or those with you rouses. Yeah, And it's 89 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: it's really gross and disheartening that that is still a 90 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: thing in our these are modern times, and I feel 91 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: like so much of what we're talking about in this 92 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: abortion conversation has that same vibe, but we're still holding 93 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: on to these ideas around men owning women's bodies in 94 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: a very heateronormative sense, having control over it. And I 95 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: mean to not be able to get a divorce when 96 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: you want a divorce when it's probably the healthiest thing 97 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: for you. Um, I mean, that's dangerous. That's dangerous and disgusting. 98 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: I mean the fact that we're bringing up like no joke, 99 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: not just does, but bringing up which hunts and stuff 100 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: in this conversation, Like there's just so many really damaging, 101 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: old timey beliefs that I'm constantly like, I cannot believe 102 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: we are still talking about this, but we are right 103 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: right m And then we wanted to share another story 104 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: from listener Melissa. She said, I had an abortion when 105 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: I was twenty six, I am now fifty seven. For me, 106 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: my husband and I had just found out we were 107 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: supposed to have twins, but it wasn't meant to be. 108 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: When they did the ultrasound ten weeks, one of the 109 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: spaces was empty and the other space the embryo was 110 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: too small and without a heartbeat. It looked a bit 111 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: like a p in a pod, the p at the 112 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: very end that isn't round. This was a Wednesday or Thursday, 113 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: and I remember that I went back on Friday and 114 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: they checked my hormone levels and they were too low 115 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: to start, and we're dropping even more. I was in miscarriage. 116 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: The last embryo was dead and it was not going 117 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: to stay. I liketed to take care of it, as 118 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: this could have taken weeks. I could have had an 119 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: active miscarriage any place, at work, at the store, walking 120 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: on the street, and I scheduled with my doctor to 121 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: go to the hospital on Monday and have a d 122 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: n E. Some people, including my mother, who was a 123 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: rights to life says this isn't an abortion, but my 124 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: medical record says differently, it is a medical procedure. It 125 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: may not be the same as a woman or a 126 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: girl who likes a bord of pregnancy that might be 127 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: a successful pregnancy if not stopped. But that shouldn't matter. 128 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: We are talking about medical procedure that should be an 129 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: option between the pregnant person and their doctor. Not one 130 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: woman in the US uses abortion as their birth control. 131 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: I think that we need to normalize the discussion. Things 132 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: do not go as planned, and many pregnant people have 133 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: pregnancies that end when they don't want them to. I 134 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: don't think I'm reaching when I say that the majority 135 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: people who have abortions don't want abortions, but rather are 136 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: in circumstances where abortions are something that may have to 137 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: be done. Um and yeah, And she continues and talks 138 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: about the fact that for her and her husband, it 139 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: was pronounced sorrow and emotional pain. I barely knew I 140 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: was pregnant at ten weeks, and in the space of 141 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: hours was told that that was not meant to be. 142 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: Not only was I not having babies, I was not 143 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: having two babies. I have met so many people who 144 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: are in similar circumstances as I, only at later stages. 145 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: These were planned and wanted pregnancies that just went horribly wrong. 146 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: Maybe the fetus died in the womb, or maybe something 147 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: horrible happened that would prevent it from living outside the boom. Now, 148 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: the people who would like to end abortions would say 149 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: that these are not abortions, or they might on the 150 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: latter one and just say that women had d n 151 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: c s or d n E s that take care 152 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: of miscarriages. But these are the same medical procedures, and 153 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: non medical people can split hairs and claim differences. These 154 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: are medical procedures and should be between a doctor and 155 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: a patient. And I think she makes such a great point, 156 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: and we've talked about this before, that these so called 157 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: late term abortions, which has been the ultimate evil, has 158 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: been a lot of conversations with the fact that there's 159 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: a health issue, and there's a health crisis happening in 160 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: this conversation that we're not talking about and the majority 161 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: of the time these parents really do our sided or 162 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: have planned and moved on. I've had friends having baby 163 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: showers and creating already naming these fetuses and ready to go, 164 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: and then things happen. Unfortunate circumstances happened and it could 165 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: not be. And then also the same conversation about how costly. 166 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: This is because it is an abortion. Yeah. Yeah, I 167 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: mean that's one of my biggest things that I keep 168 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: going back to is it's pregnancy is a big impact 169 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: on your body. It's a huge physical, mental toll, and 170 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: it is a medical procedure. Abortion is a medical procedure 171 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: and it should just be between you and your medical provider. 172 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: But also, I just feel like we've seen a lot 173 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: of news stories lately where the fact that people don't 174 00:09:52,920 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: understand how people with RUSS how their bodies work. And 175 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: I feel that that is this misinformation or disinformation or 176 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: what have you, is leading to actual decisions that impact 177 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: people's lives when it's not coming from a place of 178 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: understanding our genuine attempt to care for people. Right. Oh yeah, 179 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: you know what Melissa actually goes on specifically on that route, saying, 180 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: I'm also from Missouri where they almost passed legislation on 181 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: our trigger law that would have made treating an ectopic 182 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: pregnancy a class A felony, which means the medical staff 183 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: would be facing prison time because one of the legislators 184 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: pushing it thought that a topic pregnancies could be transplanted. 185 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: I know we talked about that legislation before, but she 186 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: refers to the fact that this was in her area 187 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: and the most nuanced idea of like, wow, yeah, you 188 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: definitely don't know what this is. Yeah, and you're making 189 00:10:51,920 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: laws that impact people based on complete I mean, just 190 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: where it's at. UM.
