Providing abortion can be a really dangerous business.
Eleven people have been killed in anti-abortion violence.
There have been hundreds of arson attacks, of bombings, of butyric acid attacks.
You keep the physical location of the map itself, your offices, a secret.
Do you worry at all that when abortion is back in the headlines like this, that you or the people who volunteer with the map are in actual danger?
After the Supreme Court ruling came out on Thursday evening, Louisiana's Attorney General Liz Murrell said, quote, It's shocking that the Supreme Court would block the common sense return to medically ethical practices and oversight.
DOJ did not defend big pharma, which is profiting from the illegal and unethical distribution of abortion pills.
We will keep fighting.
What do you feel like that fight is going to look like next?
Where do you think the anti-abortion movement is going to attack next?
Yeah, I mean, I can say as...
someone who covered abortion rights for 10 years, I was really struck by how in the last year, I think it was about a dozen states introduced laws that would have criminalized, that would have treated abortion as homicide, which is to say women who got abortions would be treated as murderers and faced criminal consequences accordingly.
And the thing is, you know, these proposals get introduced every year and,
But they usually, I feel like, draw more outrage and controversy.
And then in the last year, it was just sort of like, oh, this is maybe an increasingly normal thing to propose.
Maybe it's not something that people need to get eyes up and arms about.
And I was really struck by, it seems like, the normalization of this idea, which is incredibly politically unpopular, even among most of the anti-abortion movement.
I think some people might hear Dr. Foster talk about the idea that the anti-abortion movement is going to criminalize women and think that that is a Looney Tunes take.
I think it's a terrifying thing.
I think that that is also a valid response.
