Pro-Life or Pro-Choice: The Psychology of Abortion

July 12, 2019

The Psychology of Abortion
The recent Alabama abortion bill has introduced a debate: should the government dictate what is best with an individual's health?

This Alabama abortion bill was signed into law on May 15, 2019, and it made nearly all abortions in the state illegal, with felony charges for physicians who perform the procedure.

In today's podcast, our panel of Shrinks discuss public comments on abortion from figures in pop culture, masculinity, male support of female autonomy, religiosity versus spirituality, and the Equal Rights Amendment.

Listen to the psychology of abortion below, or anywhere you find podcasts!

I find myself getting really angry when these states have a bunch of white men are passing laws about women.

We all know about the physical and mental health benefits of spending time outside. What is the sweet spot of how much time spent outdoors would optimize your health benefits? In a recent article on The Guardian, researchers say that two hours a week is the sweet spot.

Our panel of Shrinks breaks down their thoughts on these findings.
