Outlawed

by Beverly Gray & Jonas Swartz

In the wild west of abortion bans and restrictions, patients, families, and their doctors are being treated like outlaws. OB-Gyns and abortion care providers Bev and Jonas embrace the American tradition of fighting injustice by sharing their direct line to what’s actually happening in our homes and medical offices.  Each episode’s powerful stories, experts, and resources help us grasp the aftermath of outlawing healthcare and how to talk about it with the people you know. Even with Uncle Bob. Especially with Uncle Bob. Brought to you by Dr. Beverly Gray, Dr. Jonas Swartz, and Jane Marie’s Little Everywhere.

StarMD04 · Dec 2024

Incredibly well done show. Really navigates the challenges to reproductive healthcare in our country. Keep up the good work!!

liz8076 · Dec 2024

this show should be required listening to every American in the country. I cannot believe that anyone who truly pays attention to the pain and suffering the politicization of the abortion issue has caused would not want individuals to be making these life choices for themselves and doctors to be allowed to serve their patience as needed. Well done doctors!! Thank you.
