50 Years After Roe, Is Reporting on Abortion Still Too White? -
laura flanders show

Forty percent of those who get abortion services in the U.S. are African Americans. Would you know it from the media coverage of the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe vs Wade? S. Mitra Kalita and Sara Lomax-Reese of URL Media join Laura for this month's "Meet the BIPOC Press" to consider what has changed in the coverage - and the organizing - around reproductive justice in the years since Roe. Are abortion seekers of color still a sidebar in reporting or has journalism finally reached a tipping point on inclusion? What difference are BIPOC-owned-and-operated media making in this moment, to our understanding of what's been lost, and to the debate over what is needed now? Our hosts are joined by Assembly member Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas, from Queens, NY, and La'Tasha D. Mayes, Democratic Nominee for the Pennsylvania Statehouse from Pittsburgh.
