Six months into Texas' near total ban on abortion, we are rereleasing this special episode of Cringewatchers, taped in September.
***
This is not Texas' first rodeo.
For this special episode, we talked to Dr. Liza Fuentes, a senior research scientist at the Guttmacher Institute and Dr. Jamila Taylor, director of health care reform and senior fellow at The Century Foundation about what's going on in Texas, what it means for abortion rights in the U.S. and what people can do to counter and prevent draconian attacks on our right to health care.
