Episode description
Access to abortion services has shifted dramatically in the three years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Twelve states currently ban the procedure with limited exceptions, another four have bans after six weeks of pregnancy. Stephanie Sy discussed a new report that shows whether bans have led to a drop in abortions with Mary Ziegler, author of “Personhood."
