The midterm elections are coming up, and across the county, abortion feels like a central voting issue. But while many of the most visible pro-choice voices come from women, some are beginning to offer ideas for the role of men in reproductive health.
Gabrielle Blair, award-winning creator of the Design Mom blog, tells us about her new book, Ejaculate Responsibly. We learn how this provocatively-titled series of arguments offers some ideas for male accountability in preventing unwanted pregnancies. Then, WWNO’s Public health reporter Rosemary Westwood joins us for more on the state of abortion access in Louisiana.
