  • A closer look at abortion care
    Nov 21 2024

    When a 2022 Supreme Court ruling ended nationwide protection for abortion access, Massachusetts abortion rights advocates predicted an influx of people from out of state seeking abortions.

    Now, WBUR's Martha Bebinger found the number of people who obtained abortion care from Massachusetts providers was up at least 37% in 2023. The increase was mostly driven by patients from outside the state.

    Today on The Common, Martha and Dr. Angel Foster, co-founder of Cambridge Reproductive Health Consultants, discuss the future of abortion access in Massachusetts.
