In this episode, Dr. Goodwin is joined by reproductive rights expert and Professor Dorothy Roberts to unpack Texas’ new abortion ban, the Supreme Court’s decision to let it stand, and what the legacies of legislative interference with reproductive decision-making and autonomy mean for women, people who can become pregnant, and for our American democracy.
“All we’ve done is state what the law says. It says that anyone who suspects that someone has performed an abortion or aided someone to get an abortion can sue them and get 10,000 dollars or more if they win this lawsuit, and their attorney’s fees paid. That is…what’s the point of that? It’s clearly an incentive for people to track down women who have abortions.”
“Many Americans have been willing to put Black women in harmful situations in order to achieve some other broader policy goal.”
“It is all about shame, humiliation, surveillance, punishment, control, and far too often it ends up with termination of parental rights, which is at a far higher rate for Black children.”
—Dorothy Roberts, professor, author and reproductive rights expert
