Point of Inquiry welcomes Dr. David Grimes, a board certified physician in obstetrics and gynecology and author of the new book
Every Third Woman in America: How Legal Abortion Transformed Our Nation. Dr. Grimes talks with host Lindsay Beyerstein about the enormous good that\u2019s been done as a result of the legalization of abortion, and the horrors that women used to face \u2014 and face anew \u2014 as access to abortion services is chipped away.\xa0\n\n
\nA powerful movement is relentlessly fighting to turn back the clock to the pre-
Roe v. Wade era, when abortions were just as common as they are today, but far more dangerous and life-threatening. States across the country have seen the introduction and passage of \u201cTRAP laws\u201d (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) that harshly restrict access to abortion, birth control, and even cancer screenings, all under the pretense of protecting patients\u2019 health.\xa0\n
