Summary
The state of Indiana has put a woman in prison for 20 years on charges that she killed her fetus, and reproductive-rights activists are outraged. Susie reviews the grisly details of how this happened. The woman is Asian American, single, and from a religious Hindu family that looks down on premarital sex - a perfect storm that led her to hide her pregnancy. But when the complications of a miscarriage caused her to seek medical help, she was quickly put in jail.
Next, Susie explains some differences between French and American esthetics. She quotes artist and sculptor Louise Bourgeois in a surprising story about quilts and genitals.
Then, it's our "Try This at Home Mailbag". A listener needs advice on how she can have great sex at a massive music festival taking place in the desert. "Will I succumb to drugs and drink or sunburn and skin rashes?" Susie has some pointers!
