Episode 11:
What No One Tells You About Reproductive Care with Dr. Kristyn Brandi
What happens when your doctor wants to help—but the law says they can’t?
​
In this episode of Roar, host Danielle Davies speaks with Dr. Kristyn Brandi—OB-GYN, abortion provider, and reproductive justice advocate—about the reality of reproductive care in America today. From doctors calling lawyers at 2AM before treating a patient, to crisis pregnancy centers offering fake ultrasounds, this conversation reveals what’s really happening behind the headlines.
​
You’ll learn:
• The real difference between reproductive health, rights, and justice
• How abortion bans impact maternal care, infertility treatment, and miscarriage management
• What contraceptive coercion looks like in both relationships and medical settings
• How to advocate for yourself (or your kids) in a medical system that often dismisses women
• Actionable steps to support reproductive freedom—without needing to run for office
This isn’t a debate. It’s the truth. And it matters.
