CW: Abortion - If this is a sensitive topic for you, we'd advise skipping this week. Hi friends, welcome to The V Spot: A Survival Podcast for Best Friends! This week Professor Katt has done a boat load of research and is going to give a lesson on abortion. We'll do our damnedest to keep it light and infomative.* A brief history lesson featuring the Quickening* Racism ruins it again* Why the Handmaid's Tale imagry isn't the best* A bunch of politics makes it all worseAnd as a quick note - we're using the word 'women' in the episode a lot and we just want to be clear what we mean - someone who could become pregnant, not a gender identification.
