This famous podcast went viral for episode about Charlotte abortion clinic

A national podcast host who published an episode about her trip to a Charlotte abortion clinic two years ago is going viral this week after she republished it on Friday.

Alex Cooper, the host of the “ Call Her Daddy ” podcast, re-upped the episode after her interview with Vice President Kamala Harris went viral last week.

The Harris interview was published Oct. 6 and touched on abortion and reproductive health.

Now, the October 2022 Charlotte podcast is going viral again on TikTok and X, where thousands of people liked or shared audio and video clips.

The nearly 30-minute episode, titled “An Abortion Story,” was done in a documentary style and featured Cooper interviewing the executive director of A Preferred Women’s Health Center of Charlotte, reproductive health advocates, and people protesting abortion. Some also shared why they received an abortion in the past.

She captured the sights and sounds outside the clinic, as people advocating for or against abortion argued. In one clip, as Cooper rode by the clinic in a car, a woman yelled, “Did you choose life?”

“The shame that they’re trying to inflict on these women … the confusion also, of like how they make you feel, is so overwhelming,” Cooper said in the episode.

Cooper started the podcast with a former roommate in 2018. The pop-culture and sports blog Barstools Sports acquired it shortly after that, according to The New York Times . The co-host left, and the podcast landed a three-year, $60 million deal with Spotify.

Cooper discusses sex and relationships, gives advice, and interviews high-profile celebrities.

The episode about Cooper’s visit to Charlotte was published just a few months after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

After that, a 20-week abortion ban in North Carolina law was no longer unconstitutional and could be enforced, a federal judge ruled .

Republicans who control the state legislature then passed a 12-week abortion ban in August 2023 when they overrode a veto by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper with a key vote from Rep. Tricia Cotham of Mecklenburg County, who switched parties from Democrat to Republican in April 2023.

That’s become an election issue for Cotham as she seeks re-election Nov. 5 against Democrat Nicole Sidman.

A judge upheld the 12-week abortion ban in June while striking down a requirement that doctors document the existence of a pregnancy in a uterus when prescribing abortion pills.
