Interview with Amy Agigian on the Need for Access to Health and Sexuality Information

Executive Director Amy Agigian was a guest on the live talk radio show “About Education” (on AM1290 and simulcast on FM 96.9 in Santa Barbara, California). She spoke with Neil Kreisel about Our Bodies Ourselves, the need for access to accurate and reliable health and sexuality information, and the continued work of Our Bodies Ourselves Today to address misinformation.

We certainly feel like our voice is more important than ever in the political situation that we’re in. It’s just a disaster for women and anyone who can get pregnant that is affecting so many areas of life. In addition to people who need abortion and need that health care, it’s affecting people who have miscarriages and people who need to use reproductive technology. It’s affecting birth control. It’s not just abortion. It’s a scary time, and Our Bodies Ourselves Today is part of a movement, which is national and global, for human rights, for equality, for access to health care… We absolutely are adamant that women need human rights. We need access to information, to abortion, to birth control, to books, to all the things that make it a democracy.
