The next major Supreme Court fight over nationwide abortion access since the overturn of Roe v. Wade is coming up. Oral arguments in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, regarding mifepristone access, one of two drugs used in medication abortion, is set for March 26, and the justices could potentially set access back decades.
In this flashback episode, Jess and Imani discuss how anti-choice activists are using scare tactics—and language like “chemical abortion”—to stigmatize mifepristone. Decades of research and data show mifepristone is safe and effective.
