My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Lauren Gregg Pacheco and each week on Symptomatic, an original podcast from I Heart Radio.

We unravel the medical mystery of a person's baffling symptoms and explore how their lives returned upside down in search of answers.

From the first sign of trouble through a swirl of treatments and misdirection to the relief of a life changing diagnosis.

These are their stories.

Listen to Symptomatic, a medical mystery podcast on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Kitty Curric and this is abortion, the body politic, part five.

What has just occurred in the United States is unprecedented globally. We have never seen retrogression on this scale in terms of the taking away of a constitutional right to abortion that has existed for 50 years.

Today, we're looking outside of the U.S. to find out what the fight for reproductive rights looks like in other countries and how the United States now compares.

The United States is now in a situation where it really is an outlier in sense of the global picture.

I'm Leia Hockter and I work at the Center for Reproductive Rights. I'm the Senior Regional Director for Europe at the Center and I lead the Center's work to make legal and policy change on reproductive rights across Europe.

Only three countries and now very unfortunately the United States, so that makes it four, have actually moved backwards.

El Salvador, Nicaragua and Poland have rolled back entitlements to abortion but never on this scale. They have done so from restrictive contexts.

So they have had laws in place that were already generally globally regarded as restrictive and have then scaled back those entitlements. But the United States, what has happened in terms of the Supreme Court's decision, what that decision has done is taken away a very robust constitutional protection for abortion rights and completely decimated that.

Globally the trend is very clear, there is an overwhelming movement and has been for many, many decades across the world in all regions towards the removal of bands and highly restrictive laws on abortion and towards the legalization of abortion, the treatment of it as essential health care, the decriminalization and the removal of barriers in law and policy.
