b"To help us better understand the struggle we\\u2019re in right now for a woman\\u2019s right to control her own body, we're joined by two guests:\\n\\nMelanie MacLennan works as an addiction doctor here for the New York City health system. Until around 2008, she was an abortion doctor and performed abortions in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas. She was 18 years old when Roe was decided and is furious about what\\u2019s happening now. \\n\\nWe also hear from journalist and documentary filmmaker Erin Sheridan. Erin has been a contributing writer for The Indypendent since 2018. She covered abortion defense activism when she was based here in New York City. She is currently living in Boise, Idaho where abortion rights are dire threat.\\n\\nIn the second half of the show, we pivot to Cuba, where co-host and Indy Associate Editor Amba Guerguerian just traveled with a brigade of journalists, who were present at the International Workers Day parade in Havana. Guerguerian talks about some notable differences between Cuba and the U.S., how the blockade works, and how sanctions affect nearly all aspects of Cuban life."
