Medical Mistrials: Bodily Autonomy in Birth Control Trials

Produced by Josephine

This podcast brings to light the stories behind two birth control devices formerly available in the United States, Essure and the Dalkon Shield. We will analyze how race, class, gender, and other marginalized identities impact access to safe methods of birth control. Using stories of real women affected by these devices, this podcast seeks to initiate conversations surrounding the role of medicine in the need for reproductive justice.
