On the radio show this week, we dive into the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill requiring expensive documents like passports for voter registration, potentially disenfranchising millions. We also hear about the negative national economic impact of rising costs and job losses on women, and particularly Black women. Next, we cover the dire state of maternal health in the U.S., exacerbated by reproductive rights restrictions and funding cuts to health care. Finally, we discuss the importance of engaging pro-choice men in advocacy to support reproductive freedom.
