115: La Voisin

In 17th Century Paris, Catherine Monvoisin was a famous fortune-teller, poisoner, and practitioner of black magic. She helped Paris high society with their problems. Her poisons and black magic may have had a hand in murdering between 1,000 and 2,500 people. And then she got involved with a woman looking for help killing her lover -- King Louis IVX. That's where things got messy for La Voisin.FURTHER READING:La Voisin, France's murderous fortune teller | SYFY WIRELa Voisin - WikipediaAffair of the Poisons - WikipediaSorceress, midwife, poisoner: meet 'La Voisin'The Affair of the Poisons - History of YesterdayABORTION AID LINKS:National Abortion FederationPlanned ParenthoodResources & Research - Center for Reproductive RightsA Guide to Abortion Resources in a Post-Roe America | WIREDAbortion FinderPLAN CTelemedicine Makes It Safe to Get Abortion Drugs in the Mail | WIREDAid AccessHowToUseAbortionPill.orgSASSReprocareRepro Legal Helpline | If/When/HowRepro Legal Defense FundDonate to National Network of Abortion FundsKeep Our Clinics-----------------------------------------------Like the show?
