Inside the Abortion Underground: Rebecca Grant on Why Outlawing Abortion "Does Not Make It Go Away"

Democracy Now! Video

Part 2 of our conversation with journalist Rebecca Grant, who writes about reproductive rights. She outlines the alternative healthcare methods that many are forced to turn to in the face of dangerous and, since the fall of Roe v. Wade, increasingly draconian abortion restrictions. “We know throughout history that making abortion illegal or trying to ban it does not make it go away,” she says. This underground network of abortion access in the United States is the subject of Grant’s new book, Access: Inside the Abortion Underground and the Sixty-Year Battle for Reproductive Freedom.
