Law professor analyzes legal arguments on abortion pill access

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

Mike Thompson, associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Sioux Falls, brings us his thoughts on a recent legal case that could have sweeping impacts.

Last week, the Supreme Court heard arguments on medication abortion access and restrictions on the drug mifepristone. This case could limit access to this pill by mail.

Thompson provides his analysis of the proponent and opponent arguments and the types of questions the justices asked.
