1A Remaking America: The Fight For Abortion Access


Listen Later

Texas' new law restricting abortion is felt beyond its borders. In neighboring Oklahoma, the governor says he's ready to approve a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony — punishable by up to 10 years in prison. And Idaho's governor signed a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.

At the same time, states like Colorado are bracing themselves to become abortion safe havens. This week, the state legislature there signed the Reproductive Health Equity Act, which solidifies the state's abortion laws.

We take a look at how two states are handling the question of abortion access and what the state of abortion laws nationally could mean for you.

This conversation is part of our Remaking America collaboration with six public radio stations around the country. Remaking America is funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
