585. Part 2 of our conversation with Kaitlyn Joshua. Kaitlyn was a victim of Louisiana's abortion ban. She was excited to get pregnant, but her OBGYN wouldn't see her until she had been pregnant 12 weeks. During those early weeks of pregnancy, Joshua experienced symptoms she hadn't dealt with in her first pregnancy: mild cramping and spotting. Without access to a doctor, though, Joshua felt like she had nowhere to go for answers. She eventually visited ERs at Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge and to Baton Rough General. Both hospitals sent her home in spite of heavy bleeding. Now Kaitlyn is an advocate for women's right to choose and to get medical care.

Natchitoches was founded by a French Canadian, Louis Antoine Juchereau de St. Denis, in 1714 while he was en route to Mexico from Mobile, Alabama, on a trade mission. When he reached the village of the Natchitoches Indians on the Red River, he had two huts constructed within the village and left a small detachment there to guard the stores and trade with the inhabitants. This became the first permanent European settlement in the territory later known as the Louisiana Purchase.
