Tennessee enacted one of the strictest abortion bans in the nation shortly after the U.S. Supreme overturned Roe v. Wade. The ban doesn't have any exemptions for rape, incest or if the pregnant woman's life is at risk.
The law has reshaped how pregnant people in Tennessee find abortion care and how medical professionals are able to provide it.
In this episode, we'll talk about what it's like to navigate this new reality.
We'll also check in with Abortion Care for Tennessee, which had a flood of donations after the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
