Episode notes

Dr. Prine said that they're getting she would say about three times as many calls to the hotline than she did before the decision. Now there's 60 volunteers who cover the hotline in three shifts a day and it's really busy like you can't do your day job when you're on call for the hotline. People are ordering pills from online pharmacies and they come sometimes with no directions so they call us about that but also they're calling us scared because they've passed a tiny but recognizable fetus.

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.
