After Roe: Abortion Pills And Contraception


Listen Later

Kids as young as six months are now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine.

But millions of Americans are worried about the future of both now that Roe's been overturned.

More than half of all U.S. abortions are medically induced through a two-pill regimen that doesn't involve surgery.

The legal landscape around that process already involved a patchwork of different state and local policies. But now? It's more confusing than ever.
