What is the future of abortion rights in the U.S. and Germany?

Show notes

In this episode of Tearing Down Walls, we hear from abortion rights advocates on both sides of the Atlantic about the barriers people face when seeking abortions and if there’s any political will to change the current situation.

Host Sylvia Cunningham talks with New Haven-based DJ and social worker Jen Orlando, also known as Jentlemen, who co-hosts the NEU/BODY radio show on our partner station WNHU. We also hear from Miriam Lenz, investigative reporter in Berlin for the non-profit, CORRECTIV, and Susan Campbell, a journalist and distinguished lecturer at the University of New Haven. Dr. Sarah Gutman, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Pennsylvania, shares what she’s thinking about in this time of uncertainty for doctors and abortion providers across the U.S. And we talk with American filmmaker Leah Galant, co-director of the award-winning documentary On the Divide, who is currently in Berlin on a Fulbright grant.
