This week on Under the Radar with Callie Crossley:

50 years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision: Roe v. Wade. It made abortion a constitutionally protected right, and simultaneously gave millions of people greater freedom over decisions they could make about their body.

But last year, that ruling was overturned. While anti-abortion activists celebrated, critics of the decision argue women today have fewer rights than their grandmothers.

Today, we get perspective from women who have had abortions before, during and after Roe, and explore what’s next for reproductive care in America.
