Today is Roe v. Wade Day. It feels like an important moment to pause and take stock of what’s changed in the more than three and a half years since Roe was overturned, and just as importantly, how we keep moving forward.
In that spirit, Laney sits down with Lisa Beattie Frelinghuysen: a lawyer, longtime advocate for reproductive justice, and former clerk to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—someone whose work quite literally shaped gender equality in this country. Lisa is also the co-founder of The ClutchKit Project, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to reproductive health tools in a practical, stigma-free, and deeply empowering way.
Together with her two co-founders, Lisa has created the ClutchKit: a cute (and very giftable) canvas clutch designed for “clutch moments”—they really did nail the name. Inside, you’ll find essentials like condoms, the morning-after pill, and a pregnancy test, to prevent unwanted pregnancies. And here’s why that really matters: the United States has the highest rate of unintended pregnancies of all industrialized nations. In fact, nearly half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unintended. Access—especially to something as basic as condoms—can make a real difference.
In this episode, Lisa shares what it was like working alongside Justice Ginsburg and unpacks what is still widely misunderstood about the current reproductive healthcare landscape. The conversation goes beyond abortion to focus on access—because there is no choice where there is no access—funding, and the profound consequences of policies that don’t always make headlines. One thing Lisa makes clear: prevention and education remain powerful common ground.
At Saie, we have always believed that beauty is about care—for ourselves and for each other. Supporting access to basic health resources is a huge part of that action.
Today, Saie is donating ClutchKits to those without access. You can also receive 25% off on theclutchkit.com with the code SAIE.
This episode is about reproductive justice, yes—but it’s also about refusing to give up. Progress is rarely linear, but there is always hope. As Lisa shares, “In an area like reproductive rights, which has traditionally been incredibly polarizing, it gives me hope to find that middle ground where we can come together and agree that the prevention of unintended pregnancies is a good thing.”
We hope you will listen and share how you are taking action in the comments.
With care, always,
Team Saie
