Show Notes

In episode 5, Sigi gives account of 10 Mexican women who took the head director of the GYN department of USC hospital to court for wrongfully giving them tubal ligation during labor. Sigi looks into eugenics programs in that were prevalent in the 1900s, and into laws that came about after this news broke to the public. I am going to make episode longer to get more information in. 16 mins does no justice to some of the podcast I do. Until then I hope you enjoy. please give me a five star and leave a comment on the apple podcast page. have a firme week gente.
