What No One Tells You About Reproductive Care with Dr. Kristyn Brandi

What happens when your doctor wants to help—but the law says they can’t?

In this episode of Roar, host Danielle Davies speaks with Dr. Kristyn Brandi—OB-GYN, abortion provider, and reproductive justice advocate—about the reality of reproductive care in America today. From doctors calling lawyers at 2AM before treating a patient, to crisis pregnancy centers offering fake ultrasounds, this conversation reveals what’s really happening behind the headlines.

You’ll learn:
• The real difference between reproductive health, rights, and justice
• How abortion bans impact maternal care, infertility treatment, and miscarriage management
• What contraceptive coercion looks like in both relationships and medical settings
• How to advocate for yourself (or your kids) in a medical system that often dismisses women
• Actionable steps to support reproductive freedom—without needing to run for office

This isn’t a debate. It’s the truth. And it matters.
