In this episode of CHOICE/LESS, Candice discusses how her childhood influenced her own reproductive decisions, and how her choices in childbearing and parenting were hindered by Texas House Bill 2, the sprawling anti-abortion law at the heart of the Supreme Court case, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt.
