Activist Kate Raphael on reproductive justice, law, protest, and who controls women's bodies
Jan Haaken talks with Kate Raphael about the Supreme Court's decisions on reproductive rights, including McCullen v Coakley striking down no-protest buffer zones around reproductive health care clinics that provide abortions, on which Raphael recently commented for the Women's Magazine on KPFA, where Raphael is a producer. Kate and Jan also discuss the importance of public protest, the routine policing of fat women's bodies, and the need to return to a broad feminist agenda that goes beyond abortion rights to reproductive justice and beyond.
After their talk, we hear some of "My Body Politic" by NC Music Love Army's album "We Are Not For Sale, Songs of Protest." Proceeds from album sales and live performances benefit Progress NC and Planned Parenthood of Central NC. For more information and to donate, please visit: ncmusiclovearmy.org.
