Episode notes

Pills like Mepha prestone and Mysoprostyl are approved to end pregnancies up to 12 weeks but usually they're taking them around under eight weeks which is very early in a pregnancy. Dr. Prynt says basically that these delays and these sort of enforced secrecy of having to do it at home or causing unnecessary trauma for women. "We get calls from people completely you know freaked out crying sobbing what do I do"

The Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade is reshaping the way a lot of Americans think about pregnancy and abortion. Vox’s Marin Cogan talks to patients and doctors about how reproductive health care has changed in the months since Dobbs.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin and Jillian Weinberger, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey with help from Patrick Boyd and Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
