The Shifting Abortion Landscape with Mary Ziegler
from Body & State · host Sarah Varney
Legal scholar Mary Ziegler explains the anti-abortion movement’s efforts to re-classify common forms of contraception as abortifacients, and whether these plans could succeed in states with abortion bans like Texas. We also dig into how pronatalists like Elon Musk share similar goals with some in the anti-abortion movement, including the authors of Project 2025, and what’s next for pardoned anti-abortion protestors.
