The Connection Between Abortion Bans and Domestic Violence with Liz Tobin-Tyler

Brown University professor Liz Tobin-Tyler walks us through what researchers have found about the link between abortion bans and domestic violence, and how access to firearms in the U.S. can turn volatile homes into deadly ones. She says a victim is five times more likely to be killed when a gun is in the home. And the states with more abortion restrictions, tend to be the ones with lax gun laws.
