About this episode
This week marks three years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, in an historic ruling that changed the landscape of abortion access. Since that decision came down, abortion rates across the country have actually increased, despite many states enacting abortion bans or severely restricting abortion access.
One way many women are still accessing abortion is through abortion pills. The Network is a new series by Futuro Media and our colleagues at NPR's Embedded that looks at the surprising history of how the use of abortion pills began in Latin America and eventually spread around the world, including to the U.S.
