Abortion Rights are Human Rights - Video

The Supreme Court leaked memo has sparked a heated debate over abortion, when life begins, and government restriction of healthcare. However, if Roe v Wade is overturned and the decision is left to the states, that means a lot more than just banning abortion. So, what is the science behind pregnancy, miscarriages, abortion, and IVF? What are the legal implications of this leaked memo? Join Astra, Sharon Noble, and Tommy as we have a science first conversation about a very controversial topic.
