In today's episode, Dr. Marta Perez and I are addressing the delicate subject of abortion. The goal of this podcast is to educate from an evidence based position and to reach those that may have opposing views to our own. 
We hope that this podcast will give you the tools that you need to answer difficult questions that someone may ask you, such as, does life begin at conception? This episode will cover the definition of abortion, and medical terminology that is used with diagnosis and treatment, and how this can complicate things when it comes to anti-abortion laws. 

In this episode we discuss:

The various terms that can be labeled as abortion

How restrictive abortion laws are affecting people such as healthcare workers women who have miscarriages 

Moral beliefs around abortion 

Where some major religious groups stand with abortion

Mental health and abortions

The importance of getting involved in your local politics (at the state level)
