How Changes in Texas Abortion Law Affects a Young Woman Professional Working in Austin

Episode Summary

In June 2022, the Supreme Court overruled the landmark decision of Roe versus Wade. This decision eliminates the federal jurisdiction granting access and privacy to reproductive healthcare. Power is left entirely to state representatives to generate their legislatures deciding if they will permit limited, or any, reproductive access at all. This episode explores how this ruling will affect women and childbearing individuals in the United States. Leo Eckstein, a young female professional living in Austin, Texas, joins our podcast, elaborating on how the media has been affected from her lens following the overturn of Roe versus Wade. We also discuss elements of her personal life that may or may not have changed: her professional environment, daily tasks and hobbies, and medical experiences as a young woman living in Texas.
