What Next: The Diagnosis Was Fatal. She Couldn't Get an Abortion.

Two weeks after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Lauren Hall found out
the baby she was carrying had a fatal condition: her head and skull
weren’t properly developing. Texas’s three overlapping bans on
abortion forced her to fly to Washington to terminate the unviable
pregnancy. With the Center for Reproductive Rights, she’s now one
of five plaintiffs suing the state, so no one else will have to go
through what she did. Guest: Lauren Hall, plaintiff suing the state
of Texas over its abortion bans. If you enjoy this show, please
