SummaryAbortion Is Not About Abortion | Devil's Cut w Dr. Kristin Lyerly
Apr 700:38:00Summary readyThis week, Amy speaks with Dr. Kristin Lyerly about life after Dobbs v. Jackson. What do we do about the harrowing tales we hear of women having to drive to other states during life threatening ectopic pregnancies? Do Republicans even care about women's reproductive health? Just how bad is the current state of our healthcare system and why "Medicare For All" is not the answer. About Dr. Lyrely In the aftermath of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, Lyerly fought for abortion access in Wisconsin. She was the named plaintiff in the case that brought abortion care back to the state following the reenactment of a draconian 1849 Wisconsin abortion law that went into effect after the Supreme Court ruling. Lyerly was motivated to speak out as women's freedoms were being stripped from them. She is a regular contributor to national conversations about access to rural health care, IVF, abortion, menopause, and all facets of reproductive rights. Lyerly also works with medical students at the Medical College of Wisconsin-Green Bay and is an active and award winning member with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). She has collaborated with other leaders in the medical field to create guidance for health care providers on how to continue providing quality, supportive health care to women across the state when threats to access became the reality. Lyerly is running for Congress because she believes every woman deserves an advocate — especially at a time when a small number of people in Washington have so much power, but so little understanding of the realities of women's health care.
