Episode 15: Society makes women feel guilty about having abortions. I have no guilt - with Anissa

I had the chance to interview my lovely friend Anissa for my
podcast. We met during a traineeship in the European Council and
now both live in Berlin and have evolved, like Anissa says in the
interview. I love discussing politics and all things feminism
with her. She also hosts a podcast called Homo Swipiens about how
digitalization changes the way we live and love. In this episode
we talk about sexual violence, rape, and abortions. Anissa shares
her abortion story with us, showing us that it does not always
have to be dramatic, traumatizing, and scandalous, and how
healing can come in its own time.

*Content Warning: we discuss sexual violence, rape, and
abortions. Be resourced before listening to this episode and take
breaks whenever you need them. 


 


This episode was recorded on June 15th. Nine days before the
Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and thereby reversing the
right to an abortion and clearing the way for US states to ban
the procedure. You can never ban abortions; you can only ban SAFE
abortions. The people who will suffer the most and - potentially
die - are the ones not able to afford traveling to other states
or already living in precarious situations. 


 
On another note: a book I enjoyed reading that can give a
spiritual perspective on abortions (and miscarriages) is “Spirit
Babies – How to Communicate with the Child You’re Meant to Have”
by Walter Makichen.
