Reproductive Justice Is Racial Justice: Abortion Doctor & Activist Facing Deportation Vow to Fight On

As the leaked opinion showing the Supreme Court plans to overturn Roe v. Wade sparks protests across the United States, we speak to an abortion doctor and a reproductive rights activist facing deportation about what is next. We will keep fighting for us to have abortions that are safe, legal and accessible to everyone, no matter where you are, no matter where you're coming from and no matter what your income," says community organizer Alejandra Pablos, noting the decision could have particularly disastrous effects on already vulnerable undocumented immigrants and border communities in Arizona.
