808s & Abortion Myths

This week Carla and Joy embark on a myth-busting mission against this supposed abortion-Black genocide connection. In the midst of a 2-week flurry of bigoted remarks, Kanye West alluded to the idea that abortion is a form of Black genocide; Ye is just the most recent in a long line of conservatives drawing false parallels between reproductive freedoms and eugenics. Join along as the duo explore the history of the eugenics movement, the complex reality of Margaret Sanger's legacy, and the disproportionate harm Black people capable of giving birth face as a result of abortion restrictions. Have thoughts/comments/reactions to this episode?
