#246 - Childfree by Choice with Therese Shechter

Summary: <p>In this episode, we're joined by the fierce Therese Shechter, the brain behind "My So-Called Selfish Life," who's flipping the script on pronatalism and societal norms.</p> <p>From tearing apart the underpinnings of pronatalism to exposing its ties with white supremacy and racism, we're setting the stage for an eye-opening conversation. We deep-dive into how our policies, driven by hidden pronatalist forces, shape our society and what it means to be a woman.</p> <p>Next, we explore powerful real-world scenarios where pronatalist policies are taking center stage.</p> <p>As we advocate for equitable policies, join us for a conversation about childfree living as a choice, and a right.</p> <p><br></p> <p>"I think that being able to make the decision that you don't want to be pregnant and then having a procedure where you're no longer pregnant is a basic human right." - Therese</p> <p><strong>Links</strong>:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://myselfishlife.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer ugc nofollow">My So-Called Selfish Life</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/trixiefilms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow">Therese Shechter's Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.trixiefilms.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow">Trixie Films</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Additional Resources</strong>:</p> <p><a href="https://www.newlegacyinstitute.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer ugc nofollow">https://www.newlegacyinstitute.com/</a></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonprofitlowdown/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonprofitlowdown/support</a>
