About this Episode
The constitutionally protected right to an abortion in the US was established in 1973. But since then, pro government-in-your-healthcare / anti-choice fanatics have employed numerous nefarious tactics to diminish that right. In the Texas Legislature they've made access to abortion in this state as difficult as possible. This week we talk with Katie Sullivan of the Clinic Access Support Network about CASN's work to provide much needed support to the would be victims of the Texas Legislature.
