Part Two of our conversation with journalist Rebecca Grant, who writes about reproductive rights. She outlines the alternative healthcare methods that many are forced to turn to in the face of dangerous and — since the fall of Roe v. Wade — increasingly draconian abortion restrictions. “We know throughout history that making abortion illegal or trying to ban it does not make it go away,” she says. This underground network of abortion access in the United States is the subject of Grant’s new book, Access: Inside the Abortion Underground and the Sixty-Year Battle for Reproductive Freedom.

Columbia University graduate and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil reunited with his wife and met his newborn son after being released from over 100 days in ICE detention. After flying from Louisiana to New Jersey, Khalil told reporters, “If they threaten me with detention, even if they would kill me, I would still speak up for Palestine.” Khalil was the first arrested, on March 8. He is a legal permanent resident of the United States with a green card. His wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, a U.S. citizen, was eight months pregnant at the time. Mahmoud played a prominent role in the Palestine solidarity protests at Columbia University last spring. Watch a special report from Democracy Now! from the Newark Airport.
