Even in California, Abortion Services Can Be Hard to Find
Published 3 years, 8 months ago
Description
A majority of the Supreme Court plans to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to leaked documents obtained by Politico. In California, most public officials have pledged to double down on our state’s protections for abortion rights.
But that doesn’t mean getting access to an abortion is always easy. An estimated 40% of mostly rural counties in California — home to hundreds of thousands of people in the state — have no clinics that provide abortions.
Guest: Katie Orr, former KQED politics and government reporter
