Welcome to the very first episode of The Situation Womb, your weekly briefing on the medical realities politicians love to legislate but rarely understand.
Dr. Kristin Lyerly, Dr. Erin Stevens, Dr. Chelsea Daniels, and Dr. Chris Ford mark the four-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, which effectively killed Roe vs Wade. The crew breaks down where they were when the world shifted, the chilling reality of navigating "bananas medicine" from Florida to California, and the FDA’s highly politicized "safety review" of Mifepristone. They look at the heartbreaking reality of post-Roe confusion creeping into blue states, highlighted by the case of an Illinois woman denied life-saving ectopic pregnancy care, and a South Carolina woman forced to carry a nonviable pregnancy.
Plus, they dive into the horrifying human rights violations unfolding at ICE detention centers and celebrate a rare, hard-fought legal victory for reproductive freedom in Missouri.
