BY ANSEV DEMIRHAN a nd LISA GRAVES | In April, the Supreme Court will hear a pair of cases that will determine whether the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) preempts state laws that impede emergency abortions needed to protect the health of pregnant people even if they are not on the brink of death.

[link removed] [[link removed]] Listen to United Bodies—a new podcast about the lived experience of health, from Ms. Studios, on Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
More than 51 million people in the United States – more than 20 percent of adults – live with chronic pain, but 70 percent of pain sufferers are women.

On the latest United Bodies, Samantha Reid joins host Kendall Ciesemier to talk about how our system isn’t set up to care about our pain—and how we can change it.
