“The decision to become a parent is one of the most important life decisions that anybody makes.” 

 

Lupe Rodriguez, Executive Director, Latina Institute

In this episode Diana has a candid conversation with Lupe Rodriguez, Executive Director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice about Latinas’ and the Latinx community’s access to reproductive care:

  • what that looked like before the overturning of Roe v. Wade
  • the specific barriers to access that Latinx communities face to access abortion care (hint hint Border Patrol has something to do with it)
  • Shifting cultural narratives
  • Marianismo and Catholicism and how they play a role
  • Latina attitudes towards birth control and abortion
  • La Marea Verde (the Green Wave)
  • Why THIS is the moment to step up, speak out, get involved and do something.

“Aquí se respira lucha…Here we breathe resistance.”
