Episode Summary
This week on Live Like the the World is Dying, Inmn talks with Hazel about the zine How To Do It Anyway: a guide to self-managing an abortion at home. You can read the zine for free at tangledwilderness.org
Links
All-Options is a reproductive rights organization that providing support and resources to all pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption experiences, and they really need our help right now! In the zine, I plug their talk line that offers an unbiased, judgement free and open-hearted support from trained peer supporters, as well as a program offering spiritual counseling from abortion-positive faith leaders. They also run several practical support programs in their home state of Indiana, including an abortion fund, a diaper network, and a pregnancy resource center (where people can get help with diapers, period products, birth control, and abortion funding, all at the same time!). They really fill a critical gap in abortion access and general repro care, but they (like many abortion orgs) are feeling the crunch of non-profit industrial complex money drying up around abortion: they face a very real chance of closing by the end of June 2025. Especially as the full effects of a second Trump presidency begin to hit us, it's critical to support independent, locally based Reproductive Justice and abortion access groups. If you want to help them keep their doors open as long as possible, head to: https://www.all-options.org.

You can get so many deals and cool rewards and stretch goals that have already been unlocked, as long as you're listening to this before March 21st at 9am est.

Hi, Andy!!
loved this! sending to my friends who are freaked out and don't know what to do but won't join me in the streets or forests.
mentally unwell people, let me guess no jobs not married no kids.
these lefties need therapy.
Smokey demonstrates how behind the times and out of touch with today's world he is in his ignorance about the necessity of force amplification tools such as firearms. If he thinks MAGAts are just going to link arms with us and share their resources he needs to be assessed for dementia. Those of us who live in rural areas carry on a daily basis, even on these relatively 'good' times. Stay in your NYC bubble Smokey, the rest of us will live in post-Trump reality.
this was a very very good listen
Good topic, but a number of factual errors WRT armour classes and caliber resistance, brands vs. platforms, etc. Keep up the good work, but please focus on research and accuracy.
