The Waves: A Year Without Roe

Published: June 22, 2023, 7 a.m.

b"On this week\\u2019s episode of The Waves, one year after the Supreme Court decision that set off a national crisis in reproductive health care, we\\u2019re taking a look at what the end of Roe has wrought. Countless lives have been affected: There's the people who've traveled across the country to get their lives back, the people who've been forced against their will into pregnancy and childbirth, and those who've been denied life saving medical care because their doctors are afraid of the law. There's also the people doing what they can to mitigate the damage\\u2014with ballot measures, and abortion funds, and the tools and knowledge to help someone manage an abortion on their own.\\n\\nSlate senior writer Christina Cauterucci talks with Diane Horvath and Morgan Nuzzo, who opened an abortion clinic in Maryland just as Roe fell. She also sits down with Elaina Ramsey, who leads a faith-based pro-abortion group in Ohio that\\u2019s been charting new ways to use the specific assets of faith communities to help people get abortions, and Jessica Valenti, a journalist who\\u2019s been tracking the warp-speed rollback of abortion access across the country, and telling the stories of people whose lives have been upended because of it.\\n\\nSome of Christina\\u2019s Writing on Abortion:\\nBirth Control Is Next\\nYou Will Still Be Able to Get a Medication Abortion\\u2014Even if This Barbaric Ruling Stands\\nWhat Anti-Abortion Advocates Really Think of Women\\u2019s Lives\\nIf the \\u201cAbortion Pill\\u201d Gets Banned, There\\u2019s Still One Good Move\\nThe Religious Left Has Found Its Mission\\n\\nIf you liked this episode, check out: What the F*** Do We Do Now?\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nPodcast production by Cheyna Roth with editorial oversight by Daisy Rosario and Alicia Montgomery.\\n\\nSend your comments and recommendations on what to cover to thewaves@slate.com.\\n\\nIf you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
