In a landmark decision on June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade a nearly 50 year law protecting the right of women to medical privacy and safe legal abortions. The policy allows abortion only in cases of rape, incest, or when a woman’s life is at risk, explains women’s health specialist Kayla Beare who joins this week’s episode of Sisters Without Shame.  The 1973 ruling affirmed that women had the right to seek abortion up until the point where a foetus could be viable outside of the uterus. 11 states have heavily restricted abortion while 12 states have laws in place to quickly restrict access to abortion, explains Beare.
