“We have to understand the dismantling of Roe as being an assault against democracy,” says Georgetown Law professor Michelle Goodwin. This week, a Louisiana woman pleaded not guilty to a felony charge after allegedly giving her teenage daughter abortion-inducing medication that was prescribed and shipped from a doctor in New York, where the medication is legal. The NYC-based doctor was also indicted on a felony charge for allegedly prescribing and sending the medication to Louisiana after a telemedicine appointment. “Once you begin to say that women’s lives have no meaning, that their autonomy, that their equal protection, that all of the things that are protected in the constitutional rights do not apply to them, then you can say then for other people too in other circumstances.”
