About this episode
What happens when the right to choose over your own body becomes a political battlefield? The first episode of The Right to Decide explores the fight for abortion rights in Europe. Our host Sophie in ’t Veld sits down with Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus, Polish MEP and long-time women’s rights defender, to explore one of the most contested issues in Europe today. From Poland’s near-total ban on abortion to France’s constitutional protection, we uncover how control over reproduction has become a test for democracy itself. A podcast by the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual & Reproductive Rights Produced by Europod, in collaboration with Ambiorix Center Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
