For the 242nd episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes author, baker, and reproductive rights advocate Becca Rea-Tucker. Fresh off the release of her new book, The Abortion Companion, Becca shares her own abortion story, her work in reproductive justice, and her experience becoming a mother in post-Roe Texas. Becca and Courtney unpack abortion stigma, the myth that abortion and motherhood are opposing identities, why Becca prefers the term pro-abortion over pro-choice, and why later abortion is so often misunderstood. We also explore the realities of accessing abortion care amid the hostile political landscape and the dangers abortion bans pose to all pregnant people.
