Report links Georgia's abortion ban to preventable deaths

Season 2024 Episode 263 | 7m 03s

We’re learning more about the effects of abortion restrictions enacted after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade. ProPublica found at least two women in Georgia who died after being unable to get either a legal abortion or timely medical care. Committees examining pregnancy-related deaths concluded that both were preventable. John Yang discussed more with ProPublica's Kavitha Surana.
