A leaked draft opinion from the US Supreme Court indicates that the constitutional right to abortion enshrined in the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade ruling may soon be reversed. Host Carol Castiel along with assistant producer, Emma Wilcox, talk with a reproductive health expert who specializes in epidemiology, demography, and abortion care at the University of California, about the economic, social and health consequences of such a reversal at the federal level. Dr. Ushma Upadhyay tells VOA that lower-income women, African American women and women of color would suffer disproportionately if Roe v. Wade were struck down and abortion access is regulated by states.
