  • Fighting For Reproductive Rights: Planned Parenthood President & CEO Alexis McGill Johnson
    May 7 2024
    With the 2024 election on the horizon, Morgan DeBaun is sitting down with Alexis McGill Johnson, the current President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, for an eye-opening conversation about the fight for reproductive rights and freedom. Through the episode, Alexis shares insights into the strategic erosion of women's rights by the government, and she reveals the harsh reality facing doctors and patients since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. Alexis also explains how countries can slide into authoritarianism, and how the current political landscape in the United States mirrors those trends. But it's not all about the grim potential for the future of the United States, as Morgan and Alexis discuss how individuals and social impact businesses can be a part of the change. They explore the responsibilities and challenges of small businesses when it comes to navigating healthcare policies, especially in light of restrictive and draconian rules. Alexis also shares the power of storytelling to foster empathy and gain support in the fight to protect reproductive rights. While this episode is far from light-hearted, it's an important one!
