In this episode I chat with Jill Collins, a graduate from the University of Minnesota Master of Public Health program, about abortion. Jill sees the importance of conversation and the value of highlighting topics from a public health perspective, and she gracefully incorporates both into her work as an abortion patient advocate and middle school sex educator. Jill walks us through the conversation of abortion, explaining what it is, what common misconceptions are, what happens when someone cannot access it, how to talk about it in a classroom setting, and how we can work together to protect and expand access. We put together a list of resources--tools, clinics, donation pages, and legislative updates in Minnesota that have happened since this episode was originally recorded--make sure to check those out. Thank you again to all of our listeners for joining us on another season of the Perspectives podcast! -HenAudio
