0:00.0	Hello, Guilty Feminist. This week we are talking to some European reproductive rights specialists about abortion in Europe.
0:08.0	There's a lot of reporting, of course, about the dire situation in the United States of America, but we forget that in continental Europe, there are all sorts of restrictions, sometimes bans, issues with access to abortion.
0:20.5	And this podcast really allows us to
0:25.2	find out what's happening in Europe. Since we've recorded it, we've had the good news of partial
0:31.4	decriminalisation in the United Kingdom. Of course, medical professionals can still be criminalised.

1:47.6	are three experts. Mara Clark, who has been on the podcast twice before, but this time has assembled a
1:55.8	panel to talk specifically about what's going on in Europe. She is the co-founder of supporting abortions for everyone,

2:10.1	With her is Anton Van Dyke, founder of Companion and Justina Vidrinska,
2:17.0	founder of Women on the Net, an abortion dream team member
2:20.0	Abortion Without Borders. The first thing I'd like to ask you is, what are some of the obstacles
