Activists working to provide remote abortion services
If the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade as expected, abortion would become illegal in Wisconsin. We talk with an activist from Aid Access, which sends abortion medication to women in places where it is difficult to obtain, about how it will respond in a post-Roe world.
