Hello, and welcome to Episode 6 of The Week in Women. If you want The Week in Women early — every Friday morning — upgrade to a paid subscription (at least usually, when I am not moving house and finding just about every aspect of my life falling into total chaos).
On this week’s episode, headlines include the catastrophes facing Afghan women, “pro-life” cruelty in Louisiana, and how a Florida court managed to deem a 16-year-old to immature to have an abortion but mature enough to be a mother.
If you’re enjoying The Week in Women, feel free to share it with a friend. And if you listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere else, I would be very grateful if you would rate, review and subscribe.
Thank you as always for your support.
