SUPPORT WOMEN. PROTECT WOMEN. EMPOWER WOMEN. 

A few weeks ago, a Texas Law went into effect that severely limits a woman’s right to abortion and we here at the Sugar Free Podcast could not let such an important moment in the history of women’s rights pass without having a REAL discussion about it. The Texas Law, prohibits women from having access to abortion once the unborn child has a detectable fetal heartbeat. This point for most women comes at the sixth week of pregnancy when most women don’t even know they’re pregnant. This, for most women will amount to either a complete loss of the right to an abortion or the loss of a reasonable amount of time to consider having an abortion. THIS AINT RIGHT AND WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT.

Having the right to choose what you do with your body and when is one of the most fundamental rights a human can have. The recent passage and reaffirming of very restrictive abortion laws in Texas threatens to all but remove a crucial component of this fundamental right for women – their right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. Syd is going to ‘lower the veil’ on abortions and make them a real, tangible, thing for those who may not be familiar with the laws surrounding abortion or the story of a woman who has had one. After tuning into this episode, you should be concerned about the health and safety of women in Texas if not downright outraged. 

Episode 9 of the Sugar Free Podcast, Really Humanizing Abortion– Discussing the Impact of the New Abortion Laws in Texas, is a SPECIAL episode that delves deeply into the negative impact that more restrictive laws on abortion can have on young women and their abilities to live a life of their choosing. Join Syd and very special guest, Tiffany Clayton, as they put a name and a face to the process of abortion by having a vulnerable conversation about Tiffany’s abortion journey and her road to finding wholeness and peace post-abortion.
