‘They knew that women were going to die’: Stories of abortion bans hurting women spark backlash

From MSNBC.

The story of a Texas woman who died because doctors were too afraid of crossing an abortion ban to give her treatment related to a miscarriage is the latest in a series of heartbreaking examples of how ill-considered abortion bans by activist politicians ignorant of the complications of reproductive biology. Each new story inspires a new level of anger and outrage from American women seeing their rights being stripped away at the cost of their health security. Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and Jessica Valenti, author of "Abortion: Our bodies, their lies," discuss with Joy Reid and Alex Wagner.
