"A New Jane Crow": Abortion Advocates Brace for Supreme Court Ruling That Could Ban Mifepristone

As the abortion pill mifepristone remains available for at least another two days after a delayed U.S. Supreme Court ruling, we discuss the case with law professor Michele Goodwin. She says the push to force more people to give birth is taking place against a backdrop of poor maternal health outcomes. "The United States is the deadliest place in all of the industrialized world to be pregnant," says Goodwin, who notes that people are 14 times more likely to die from carrying a pregnancy to term than from abortion. We also speak with Julie Burkhart, who is on the frontlines of the fight for reproductive justice as an abortion provider in Illinois and Wyoming.
