June 24 will mark the one-year anniversary since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling, taking away the constitutional right to abortion. That decision negated nearly five decades of legal precedent and pushed the abortion question to the 50 state legislatures. This week’s guests explain the effect of the ruling on women and maternal health in ways that are just now starting to be fully understood.
Dr. Herminia Palacio is president and CEO of the Guttmacher Institute, which seeks to expand reproductive rights and Robin Marty is director of operations at West Alabama Women’s Center, which had to cease offering abortions nearly 12 months ago.
They join hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter to discuss how women are still getting abortions in restricted states, why states’ gestational limits for abortion are dangerous and the political challenges ahead.
