Summary

To be honest, I debated whether or not I should cover this topic because I know it’s polarizing and there are a lot of strong emotions involved. However, there is a lot of disinformation on this subject and, just like always, I want to be a source of factual, evidence-based information.

Abortion is more common than you might think - chances are you know someone who has had one. I encourage you to listen to this entire episode regardless of where you stand on this issue.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-How many women have abortions and at what point in pregnancy

-What are some of the reasons women might choose abortion

-What is the procedure itself and what are the procedure options

-Whether or not a fetus can feel pain

-What are some of the potential complications from abortion and how common are they

-Whether abortion has an effect on women’s mental health

-What is the definition of an unsafe abortion

-What is the public opinion of abortion
