For Kaitlyn and Landon Joshua, reproductive health access is a family issue
Kaitlyn Joshua has become one of the most widely recognized advocates for access to reproductive health care in post-Roe America. But after being denied essential health care in their home state of Louisiana, Kaitlyn and her husband, Landon, were initially reluctant spokespeople.
Nearly two years later, Kaitlyn and Landon sat down to discuss the experience of sharing their family’s story with reporters and the public, and how their lives have changed since.
Kaitlyn and Landon’s conversation was recorded by StoryCorps Studios as part of Abortion in America’s collection of interviews with people in Louisiana about the ways in which the state’s abortion ban has affected their lives. This project was produced in collaboration with Glamour and the Newcomb Institute at Tulane University.
Maybe that’s part of our work, part of our role as Kaitlyn and Landon, to help people understand: This … could be you.
