Oh How the Tides Have Changed

This episode is to highlight the many “rights” women fought for and won- less than 50 years ago.  Yet, with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, we need to be on high alert.  All rights are at risk and we cannot put our heads in the sand.

It is imperative to take action now. To be loud. To voice your concern.  

If we do not have autonomy over our own body, then what do we have?
