.katieporteroc joins michelebgoodwin on the latest OnTheIssuesPod to discuss how we can ensure that our government better represents us—particularly in the face of encroaching reproductive rights restrictions. Listen now:
Welcome to Fifteen Minutes of Feminism, part of our On the Issues with Michele Goodwin at Ms. Magazine platform. As you know, we’re a show that reports, rebels, and we tell it just like it is. I think you also know we count minutes in feminist terms.
Representative Porter, it is so wonderful to be back with you. Thank you so very much for joining us for this very special episode where we actually conclude our five-part series, Supermajority Majority Rules, and I’m so glad that you’re with us to dive into rule number five, our government represents us.
Now, for you this is big because you sit in government and you lead the United States, right? But it seems to me that that also is something that moms who work as receptionists, who work as nurses, who work as teachers, that they also get this kind of pushback where women are between a rock and a hard place. You need to take care of your families, your kids need to eat, you know, because I think, you know, one of the things when you came into Congress, you also came in as a single mom, too.Yes.
At the same time, there were a lot of voters who felt like, you know, I can’t believe this is what I’m sort of limited to, which is again and again fighting for a right that others, namely in this case men, have had for hundreds of years, and so I think there was a little bit of both an energizing but also a deflating aspect of it. No.
So before I let you go, we always ask folks about a silver lining and I’m going to get there, but before I do, here’s something that I’m wondering.
