54: #54 | Tara Flynn

The Alison Spittle Show

In Episode 54 - a referendum special recorded at Headstuff HQ - Alison and comedian and writer Tara Flynn answer your #repeal8qs. They talk about true stories and tricks, the difference between sincere questions and derailment, the morning after pill, sheer dumb luck, personhood, "abortion as contraception", what is likely to happen if the 8th is repealed, the place of young men in the debate, medical treatment and consent, why Christian Grey has a lot to answer for, regret and guilt, abortion "up to birth", invisible women, media coverage of the debate and a different version of Back to the Future. Follow Tara on Twitter for information about upcoming projects for links to more information about the referendum. Alison Spittle does stand-up comedy all the time because there’s no money in it.
