The Waves: The Fight Over Abortion Is About to Get Extremely Local

On this week’s episode of The Waves, Slate’s news director Susan Matthews interviews the Nation’s abortion-access correspondent, Amy Littlefield about her reporting for her recent New York Times piece, “Where the Pro-Choice Movement Went Wrong.” They start by talking about how America got to the precipice of overturning Roe v.

Later in the show, they discuss how women will continue to access abortion without Roe, and why organizing needs to become more local.

Podcast production by Cheyna Roth with editorial oversight by Susan Matthews and June Thomas.
