Rep. Speier's personal story of abortion

Amanpour

About this episode

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, more women may die – that is the blunt warning from the director of the CDC, as America grapples with the fallout from the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion. For California Congresswoman Jackie Speier, abortion is a lived experience. In 2011, she became the first member of Congress to share her story on the House floor. The impromptu moment happened after she heard a male colleague discussing the issue. She joins Christiane from California.  Also on today's show: authors Karen Brooks Hopkins and Kristin Kobes Du Mez.
