Media Roundtable: Texas Anti-Abortion Law Forces Women & Girls To Travel Out Of State

On this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we're discussing the Republican Party's ongoing goal to overturn Roe v Wade. Texas has enacted most restrictive abortion law, which is forcing women and girls to leave the state. In December, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether to overrule Roe v. Wade in a case concerning a Mississippi law banning most abortions after 15 weeks.

Guest:

Becca Andrews, journalist and assistant news editor at Mother Jones, where she writes about reproductive rights and gender
