Episode 12: How effective has the funding of pro-life abortion movements been? - A comparison between the US and EU

In this last episode of the grassroots movements series, Giada and Lore interview Carlo Martuscelli, a reporter at POLITICO.EU, after having read his article -  “The plan to overturn abortion rights in Europe.” - relaying the Roe v. Wade decision and its possible consequences in Europe.

The episode concentrates on the funding of pro-life abortion movements as a successful strategy of grassroots movements (using the report compiled by the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (EPF)) whilst also touching upon other issues surrounding abortion, such as access to contraception methods, welfare systems and politics.

Throughout the episode, comparisons are made between the rhetoric used in the US and EU and their histories, concluding that financial support is only one of the factors that have aided the rise of pro-life abortion movements.
