Body & StateWhy Ordinary People Are Stepping Up to Help Others Access AbortionMedication abortions make up more than 60 percent of all abortions in the United States today. But after the fall of Roe, abortion pills are now banned in at least 14 states. That’s led to the rise of underground networks, operating outside the legal system, to give more people access to abortion medication. We sat down with one of the women involved in these networks.

She says a victim is five times more likely to be killed when a gun is in the home. And the states with more abortion restrictions, tend to be the ones with lax gun laws.

For those under 25, that risk more than doubles.

And many killings are the result of domestic violence. In this episode of Body & State, Sarah travels to Louisiana where she interviews Shona Chavis, a domestic violence survivor and trauma educator.
