On this edition of Your Call, we speak with Dr. Carole Joffe and Professor David Cohen, authors of the new book: Obstacle Course: The Everyday Struggle to Get an Abortion in America.
They argue that in order to broaden abortion access nationwide, we need to allow non-physicians to provide them. What are the obstacles that limit abortion access today and how can we break the barriers?
Guests:
Dr. Carole Joffe, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at ANSIRH
David Cohen, Professor of Law at Drexel University’s Kline School of Law
