Purity Culture & The Wellness World (Pt 2)

*Note from Annika: my mic was having issues in this episode (mainly that I didn't connect it properly, whoops) and so apologies that the sound is a little off for this week! Pretty sure I'll manage to not have it happen again, but if you think it sounds off... that's because it does!*

While this week's episode is technically a part 2, you definitely don't need to have listened to part 1 before you listen to this episode (it is good! But not necessary).

This week, we make the connections between where purity culture and the wellness world intersect and how one has really impacted and continues to shape the other. Digressions include the history of the anti-abortion movement in the USA and the organized evangelical movement (spoiler - it's new and until well into the 70s had nothing to do with each other - yes, long after Roe v Wade!)
