FM May 31: Hillary Clinton and Intersectional Feminism/ Fighting Erosion of Abortion Rights

Hosted by Cherise Charleswell and Valecia Phillips

Coming up on Feminist Magazine, Cherise Charleswell speaks with Professor Brooke Midkiff about her book “The Shifting Boundaries of Feminism in American Politics: A Case Study of Hillary Clinton”; which offers an interesting analysis of Hillary’s political record and relationship with intersectional feminist issues. Midkiff utilized a feminist approach to critical policy analysis to examine Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate.

For the second half, we discuss the continued fight against the erosion of abortion rights. From restrictive laws to a lack of information to violent attacks, the blocking of abortion access is eroding the reproductive rights of women. Featuring a piece from Making Contact’s Women Rising Radio, we hear from Jessie Nieblas of the New Orleans Abortion Fund and Liza Fuentes for Ibis Reproductive Health, as well as experiences from a doctor who provides abortions and a woman that sought abortion access in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Tuesday at 3:00 PM. THIS is what feminism sounds like!
