Meet the real people in the five decade-long struggle for legal abortion as we once again find this divisive issue at play in the Supreme Court and on the state level. Joshua Prager wrote the new book The Family Roe: An American Story which sets the record straight on Roe (whose real name is Norma McCorvey). Kathryn Kolbert, argued the 1992 Supreme Court case Planned Parenthood v. Casey, widely credited with saving Roe, and co-authored the recent book Controlling Women: What We Must Do Now to Save Reproductive Freedom. And Julie F. Kay, co-authored Controlling Women and played a pivotal role in the legalization of abortion in Ireland. They come together in a conversation that probes the messy and compromising realities of past victories and takes a clear-eyed look at what the future may bring at this newest make-or-break moment for abortion rights.
