6:05Now PlayingThe new book, "Crow After RoeHow 'Separate But Equal' Has Become the New Standard in Women's Health and How We Can Change That," tackles the new landscape of restrictions on reproductive healthcare in the United States. On Tuesday, a House panel voted to advance a bill banning abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Similar bans are already in place in states across the country, part of an unprecedented tide of state abortion restrictions enacted in the past few years with the goal of challenging Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court and making abortion inaccessible and unaffordable on the ground. The laws have created a new reality in women's healthcarea twotiered system where poor women, women of color and women in rural areas cannot access basic healthcare services. We're joined by coauthors Robin Marty and Jessica Mason Pieklo, both writers for the reproductive news website RH Reality Check.
