What Next: The Diagnosis Was Fatal. She Couldn't Get an Abortion.
Manage episode 359368122 series 1460493
Two weeks after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Lauren Hall found out the baby she was carrying had a fatal condition: her head and skull weren’t properly developing. Texas’s three overlapping bans on abortion forced her to fly to Washington to terminate the unviable pregnancy. With the Center for Reproductive Rights, she’s now one of five plaintiffs suing the state, so no one else will have to go through what she did.
Guest: Lauren Hall, plaintiff suing the state of Texas over its abortion bans.
