10-Year-Old Ohio Rape Survivor Shows U.S. Not Ready for Post-Roe "Unimaginable Abortion Stories"

Democracy Now! speaks with Harvard journalism analyst Laura Hazard Owen, who says reporters will have to abandon "conventional journalism wisdom" to cover abortion stories following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. "Reporters are going to need to accept that it's going to be really hard to sort of do the things that they've been trained to do when they're writing about these cases," says Hazard Owen, explaining why privacy laws and the criminalization of doctors will make it harder to identify pregnant people and fact-check different abortion stories that involve young victims or occur in Republican-controlled states. Her latest piece is titled "Unimaginable abortion stories will become more common. Is American journalism ready?"
