Hosts Ani and Lyn welcome feminist poet, essayist and criticKatha Pollitt, best known for her bimonthly column "Subject to Debate" in The Nation magazine. They'll discuss her new book, Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights, Katha Pollitt reframes abortion as a common part of a woman’s reproductive life, one that should be accepted as a moral right with positive social implications. Pollitt takes on the “personhood” argument, reaffirms the priority of a woman’s life and health, and discusses why terminating a pregnancy can be a force for social good.
