Underground Abortions Never Went Away

For a new piece in The Atlantic, that was also the center of the latest episode of the podcast The Experiment, reporter Jessica Bruder takes a look at how abortion activists nationwide are preparing for a world in which Roe v. Wade is overturned.

The work being done by this underground network includes online forums to raise awareness about pharmaceutically induced abortions. Bruder also draws parallels between the work done by activists in the pre-Roe era to provide safe abortions to people in need. The Takeaway speaks with her about what this work means as the country awaits a Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
