On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing the state of abortion in the US after Donald Trump's Supreme Court picks overturned Roe.
Forty-one states have abortion bans in effect with limited exceptions, including 14 with total bans, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
Many in the media are running with Trump's claim that states should decide after declining to endorse a national ban. If all 50 states were Republican controlled, we would have close to a national ban.
