Alice Miranda Ollstein on Her New Book: Side Effects: How Abortion Bans Impact Everyone's Health
The ripple effects of SCOTUS' decision overturning Roe v. Wade extend in vast, concentric circles throughout the American health care system. Not only has it eroded access to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care—we are also seeing it have consequences for medical research, chronic illness management, hospital staffing, and more. This week, Alice Miranda Ollstein, Senior Health Care Reporter for Politico, talks with us about her new book, Side Effects: How Abortion Bans Impact Everyone's Health.
“Alice Miranda Ollstein's explosive reporting offers an urgent, on-the-ground look at a medical system under pressure, at the patients and providers caught up in the dragnet of the new abortion restrictions, and at the impacts on both reproductive care and completely unrelated services.”
