We’re officially kicking off My Body. My Pod. with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker — and he’s not holding back. 💬 “Donald Trump is the most anti-abortion president in our lifetime.” So how did JB Pritzker become one of the fiercest governors in the fight for reproductive freedom? It started at home, folding mailers and joining abortion rights rallies (including ours!) with his mom. In this episode, we cover: ✊ How Illinois became a safe haven for abortion access. 🗳️ What’s at stake in the fight for reproductive freedom ahead. 🚨 How to take on bullies like Donald Trump and win. 🍕 And yes ... Mini even presses the Governor on the all-important Chicago question: which deep dish reigns supreme? ### Additional Episode Notes:This episode was recorded before the recent ICE raids in Chicago — unprecedented in their scale and reprehensible in their impact — and before the deployment of National Guard troops across Illinois by the Trump administration. Because of the timing, you won’t hear discussion of these events in this conversation. Reproductive Freedom for All affirms our solidarity with immigrant and undocumented communities, and with leaders like Governor Pritzker who are fighting back against these attacks on our neighbors and our rights.
