Welcome back. Last time, we explored reproductive justice and challenges in accessing abortion care, especially in North Carolina. Today, we're zooming in on the recent storm caused by Senate Bill 20, the 'monster abortion ban,' exacerbating existing struggles for abortion access.
Joining us is Dr. Beverly Gray, an OBGYN and advocate deeply entrenched in the fight for reproductive rights in North Carolina. Dr. Gray will provide insights into the hurdles faced by providers and patients amidst these restrictive measures.
Now, North Carolina wasn't exactly a walk in the park for abortion access before SB20, but this bill took things up a notch, especially for folks in rural areas. Legal battles ensued, and while we scored some wins, the official abortion rates still took a hit. And it's not just North Carolina feeling the heat. Similar restrictive vibes are popping up all over the South post-Dobbs v. Jackson.
Let's get into this discussion as Dr. Gray sheds light on the realities faced by those navigating the complex landscape of abortion access in North Carolina.
