2:26Now PlayingStates across the U.S. have been weaponizing the COVID-19 crisis to attack women's access to abortion, deeming such procedures "nonessential." Alexis McGill Johnson, acting president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, says the effects of this fall disproportionately on women of color, whose jobs are deemed "essential" more than any other demographic. "We are the ones being asked to be essential workers, and yet our ability to actually control our own bodies — and to really control our own futures and freedom — is being denied by the state," she says.
