What Women Aren’t Being Told About Abortion Pills | Dr. Susan Bane
Description
A recent case in Durham, North Carolina, involving an 18-year-old woman who allegedly obtained abortion pills from Virginia has raised new questions about the safety and accessibility of chemical abortion drugs.
In this episode of Politics For Happy People, Joseph Backholm sits down with Dr. Susan Bane of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists to discuss mail-order abortion pills, the safeguards she argues have been removed over time, and the risks she believes women face without in-person medical care. They also examine how abortion drugs can cross state lines despite state restrictions and the significance of the legal battle over in-person dispensing requirements. Dr. Bane explains why she believes ultrasound screenings, informed consent, and stronger medical oversight are essential to protecting women.
