Stateside with Kai and Carter – Why the fight over abortion in US isn’t finished
About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing legal battles over abortion pills in the US and features insights from experts on the implications for patients.
The US supreme court has preserved nationwide access to mail-order abortion pills – for now. As Carter Sherman explains, the fight to protect this medication is far from over, as a nationwide, near-total abortion ban could be on the horizon. Carter speaks with Dr Angel Foster, co-founder of the Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project, who reveals how the legal battle over abortion pills has affected patients across the US – and what could happen next.
