Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
Faith and reproductive justice: we rarely hear these words in the same sentence. Instead, we associate faith with the belligerent protester outside an abortion clinic or sex ed curricula that shame young women for their sexuality.
But what if faith could fuel a movement that supports women and families in having real choices over their lives and their bodies?
On this week’s Making Contact, we head to the crossroads of faith and the struggle for reproductive justice. We’ll hear from people like Dr. Willie Parker, Toni Bond Leonard, and Katie Zeh, who are making these visions a reality.
Featuring:
Dr. Willie Parker, OB-GYN, author, Life’s Work: A Moral Argument for Choice
Toni Bond Leonard, Founding Mother of Reproductive Justice movement
Katey Zeh, Writer, Strategist, and Educator
LaShawn Warren, vice president, Faith and Progressive Policy Initiative, Center for American Progress
