Extra+Ordinary is a despair-free podcast about abortion & reproductive justice
that looks to the past – to fuel our fight for the future. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, the situation may seem dire, but without hope, very few of us will take action. We’re here to give you that hope.

Extra+Ordinary is a despair-free podcast about abortion & reproductive justice
that looks to the past – to fuel our fight for the future.

The anti-abortion, anti-contraception, anti-women’s-rights movement has been a snowball gaining speed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. The situation may seem dire, but without hope, very few of us will take action.

We’re here to give you that hope. To remind you of all the times we’ve won.

Join host Carolyn Silveira, a writer and social justice advocate, for inspiring stories of the people and moments that changed history, giving women (and all people) more control over our bodies and lives. From an evangelical doctor who became an abortion provider to “nice housewives” who risked jail time to help other women, we’ll learn how ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
