Republicans' Stealth Plan to Ban Abortions
Podcast: What Next | Daily News and AnalysisPublished On: Wed May 24 2023
Description: A national ban on abortion remains so unpopular that even Republican presidential candidates won’t commit to one. However, a law from the 1870s, depending on how it's interpreted and enforced, could ban both abortion pills and the procedure across America. Guest: Mary Ziegler, law professor at UC Davis and author of Roe: The History of a National Obsession. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
