What will a wave of new state laws restricting abortion mean for Roe v. Wade? (Staci Fox)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court agreed to what the Washington Post described as a “compromise on a restrictive Indiana abortion law,” allowing the state to regulate disposal of the “remains” of an abortion.  Nine other states have passed similar laws restricting women's reproductive rights. Will the Supreme Court, presumably a more conservative body now that President Trump’s two appointments (Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch) have been sworn in, overturn or undermine Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision protecting access to a safe and legal abortion? In this installment of TrumpWatch, Staci Fox, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Southeast talks about where this fight is headed.
