Summary

NYC Councilmember Carlina Rivera joins Milly and Amanda to discuss access to abortion among Latina communities. While much has been made about the Texas ban on abortions, Latinas around the country -- even in New York City -- have struggled to access abortion services because of onerous government restrictions like Title 10 and the Hyde Amendment. She breaks down the abortion fund she helped create to help out-of-state women access abortion care in NYC. Then Milly joins to chat with the Coucilwoman about her upbringing in a Puerto Rican community in New York’s lower east side. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
