The decision has touched off massive confusion about potential ramifications, and the University of Alabama-Birmingham has paused its IVF program. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to endorse a national 16-week abortion ban, while his former administration officials are planning further reproductive health restrictions for a possible second term. Lauren Weber of The Washington Post, Rachana Pradhan of 蘑菇影院 Health News, and Victoria Knight of Axios join 蘑菇影院 Health News’ Julie Rovner to discuss these issues and more.
