ROAR with Danielle Davies: Women, Culture and Impact27 Loka

Reproductive Rights and the Choice to Be Childfree

This conversation is about reproductive rights from the other side: the choice not to become a mother at all.

Paulette Erato hosts La Vida Más Chévere de Childfree Latinas and founded Latinas in Podcasting. She calls herself childfree, not childless, because nothing is missing. Together, we talk about why that distinction matters, why the moms-versus-childfree divide is manufactured, and what has to change before women stop having to explain themselves.

In this conversation, we cover:

Why 'childfree' and 'childless' aren't the same thing
Trying to get a hysterectomy with no medical reason
"El qué dirán" and the shame of what people will say
Why the 'kids' convo should happen early in a relationship

Also in this episode: a trailer for Cultureful with Jess Lin.
