Forced Ultrasound and the First Amendment

Published: Oct. 17, 2019, 10:10 a.m.

There's only one abortion clinic left in Kentucky, and by law its doctors must place ultrasound images in the patient\u2019s view and read a state-mandated script. Recently, the ACLU filed a petition on behalf of the clinic asking the Supreme Court to step in. Imani and Jess explain the forced ultrasound law, its harms, and how the Roberts Court could protect\u2014or devastate\u2014the free speech rights of providers if they take the case.
