In this episode of Body & State, Sarah sits down with John Seago, president of Texas Right to Life, a Christian anti-abortion advocacy group that has advanced sweeping anti-abortion laws in Texas. Texas is widely viewed as a laboratory for other states, enacting an abortion ban before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and a new law that allows private citizens to sue anyone who “manufactures, distributes, mails, transports, delivers, prescribes, or provides” medication abortion pills to Texans. Seago spoke about efforts to stop Texans from receiving medication abortion through the mail, how he defines certain common forms of birth control as abortion, and what’s next for the anti-abortion movement.
