About this episode
Utah lawmakers keep pushing for more restrictions on abortion. Plus, with a shortage of OBGYNs in this big-family state and high maternal mortality rates in the U.S. — especially for Black women — access to good reproductive health care is becoming increasingly important. Host Ali Vallarta talks with Jeelan Fall, a Black midwife in Salt Lake, about how Utah’s abortion bills impact her colleagues and patients and why representation in her field matters.
