🔗 Radical Acts of Care: From Underground Abortions to Militant Clinic Defense | Truthout

In this episode, Hume and host Kelly Hayes discuss the work of abortion self-help activists who provided illegal abortions in the 1970s, as well as militant clinic defenders, who repelled right-wing efforts to blockade abortion clinics in the ’80s and ’90s. As Hume says, “There are deep lessons here about comradery, about fellowship, about friendship, about relationality that we can learn from today, and that can inspire us to do good work together.”

I volunteered as an escort at a couple of abortion clinics in Memphis during the mid 1990s. Those anti-choice people didn't like us much.

An excellent podcast described as is a "call to action for movement work and mutual aid efforts around the country."
