The Legacy of Abortion Pills and Helping Women Access Them with Elisa Wells

The abortion pill was developed and first approved for use in France in the 1980s. But it took until 2000 for the medication to finally get approval in the United States, after years of work by activists and healthcare professionals. One of the women involved in that work is Elisa Wells, co-founder of Plan C, which provides information and education about accessing abortion pills in the U.S. Sarah sits down with her to discuss the history of activists helping women get access to abortion and how groups are carrying on that legacy today.
