What I Wish I Knew About Abortion

FYI: This episode contains discussions of abortion and miscarriage.   As someone who has shared my own abortion story openly (in this episode), people often reach out to me when they are contemplating or preparing for this important decision.   I’m always shocked, not just by how little they know - but how little I know. SO I thought it was about time we put together an episode that covers every aspect of abortion, comprehensively. I want to share everything I wish I had known before, during, and after my own experience, in the hope that this information will be invaluable to you or a loved one facing a similar situation.   We invited Danika Servino Wynn, a representative from Planned Parenthood to give us the facts, dispel some myths, and give us a guide - free of judgment and medical jargon we don’t understand. Listen to it, send it to the womxn in your life, and let’s destigmatize this topic, one listen at a time.    This episode is sponsored by/brought to you by BetterHelp.

The existential dread is real. The mishaps? Never funnier. And the social anxiety? Cranked to eleven. LIVE FROM BED with Jade Iovine is your weekly permission slip to spiral out loud—a show that celebrates our worst traits, bad habits, and internal monologues that would make our therapists nervous. Each week, host Jade Iovine dives into no-holds-barred heart-to-hearts with guests about the questionable choices, brutal lessons, and deeply mortifying moments that keep us tossing and turning at night. Friendship breakups? Family drama? To medicate or not to medicate? We’re here to commiserate—without preaching advice or pretending there’s an instruction manual for next time. Say goodnight to the suffocating grip of aspiration, get to know the people we idolize like never before, and revel in the comfort of knowing we’d all rather be in bed.
