A conversation with a side of covert racism

Sabina Nessa and more on violence against women

This week was full of slightly random activities; a photoshoot and a glittery music festival. But where we felt it most was the approval of the law in Texas to ban abortions after just six weeks. We talk about what this really means for women and how it will impact the next generation.  If you want to support the challenge of the law in Texas, offer your help closer to home, or need a little help yourself, here are some links: https://www.asn.org.uk https://abortionfunds.org/fund/abortion-support-network/ https://secure.actblue.com/donate/txfunds https://fundtexaschoice.org/donate/ https://prochoice.org/donate/ Thanks for listening, Lakshmi &amp; Annabel x
