Dr. Carole Joffe worries about a future in which Roe v. Wade is overturned. She worries people will be accused of faking their miscarriages, or abortion seekers will be punished for exercising reproductive freedom.
On Monday, Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark Supreme that legalized abortions nationwide, was thrown into question after Associate Justice Samuel Alito in a leaked draft opinion characterized it as "egregiously wrong from the start."
Abortion will remain legal in the United States until the court hands down a final decision, which could come as early as June when the bench rules on another abortion case. Still, the draft opinion was enough to put reproductive rights activists and doctors who perform abortions on edge.
