Dozens of states could soon take steps to ban or restrict abortion. But there are a lot of unanswered questions about how those laws would be enforced if they vary from state to state, Kim Mutcherson tells NPR. That patchwork of laws is the most likely outcome if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade, leaving the U.S. without a federally-protected right to abortion.

That's the reality in Poland, where abortion is almost entirely illegal. NPR's Ari Shapiro reports on an underground network of reproductive rights activists who risk prison time to help abortion patients.

Kinda makes ya wonder if the effort to just overthrow the govt altogether is lesser or greater than the work to maintain this equally brave but risky organization.

Very scary precidence.

God bless. Nice to see some people fighting to actually save lives. I hope we get our own Harriet Tubmans here in America.

It only "kinda" makes someone wonder if they haven't got a clue about what goes into overthrowing a government.

Ever see that movie In the Heat of the Night?

Come to think of it, a lot of conservatives not only want to see us sent back to the late 1960s in terms of abortion being an illegal act committed at the edge of town, but they'd also like to see race relations set back to where they were at the time too.

<_<

Wow I completely misread the title and thought it said Portland. Was genuinely confused as to why they would need an underground abortion ring.
