On 24th June the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the legal right to abortion across the US which had been upheld since 1973.
In this episode, we are joined by Young Fabians members Zahra Lahrie, Charlotte Kelly, Nicki Adeleke, Cecilia Jastrzembska and Amy Dwyer for a discussion about the history of Roe v. Wade, the legal protections that it ensured, the harms that many individuals will now face due to its overturning and what exactly has led to this decision.
We also discussed what President Biden is doing to combat this by signing an executive order; data privacy concerns; comparisons with the situation in the UK and Northern Ireland and much more.
