What's Next In The Fight Over Abortion Access In The U.S.
Less than nine months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, the anti-abortion movement may be on the brink of another major victory. A judge in Texas is set to rule on a case that could ban abortion pills nationwide. These so-called medication abortions account for more than half of all abortions in the U.S. “We are looking at something that could have sweeping implications for access not only in Republican led states,” says Caroline Kitchener, national reporter for the Washington Post, “but also in California, New York, Washington D.C.” Caroline Kitchener joined Diane on this week’s episode to talk about how the abortion fight has evolved post-Roe and what a ban on pills would mean for pregnant women and providers across the country.
