Stories from women who chose to end a pregnancy (Part 4 + 5)

As Reset continues to cover the fallout from the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, we listen to the stories of people in the Chicago area who decided to end a pregnancy.

In this interview, we hear from a woman whose experience of getting an abortion inspired her to become an activist. We also hear from a woman who’s been an abortion rights advocate since she was a teenager and how she navigated her own experience of getting an abortion.

GUEST: Candice Choo-Kang, Chicago community organizer

Becky Carroll, Chicago abortion rights advocate
