Night with Mary Tuma on KOOP 91.7

Last night I was invited back to KOOP 91.7 to discuss UT's Voices for Reproductive Justice,  upcoming reproductive rights events, dismantling of the Women's Health Program in Texas, the GOP's position on abortion, and rape culture.

You can check out the program here if you missed it last night. The pledge drive has been edited out for brevity, but please make a donation to KOOP. KOOP gives people like me a place to discuss issues that affect our community.

If you would like to sign the petition to demand the Department of State Health Services set a date for the hearing on dismantling of the Women's Health Program click here.
