Jon Stewart：对堕胎权的攻击不仅来自法律层面，也来自各种非法律手段，例如旅行禁令等，这使得堕胎变得极其困难。美国存在广泛的民众支持堕胎权，但由于制度问题，堕胎权仍然面临严峻挑战。 Melissa Murray：最高法院关于米非司酮的裁决并非对堕胎权的真正胜利，它只是维持了现状，而现状对堕胎权的支持者来说非常糟糕。反堕胎运动试图将红州的价值观强加于蓝州，这是一种反民主行为。最高法院的裁决并非基于案情本身，而是基于程序问题，这使得反堕胎运动可以继续寻找新的途径来限制堕胎。米非司酮是一种非常安全的药物，很少有女性因此受到伤害，反堕胎一方的原告缺乏足够的理由来质疑米非司酮的监管。 Jessica Valenti：反堕胎势力采取多种策略，包括旅行禁令等非法律手段，使堕胎变得极其困难，甚至不可能。反堕胎势力正在努力限制米非司酮等药物流产的获取途径。德克萨斯州的法律允许对协助堕胎的人提起民事诉讼，这是一种变相的“赏金猎人”机制，对协助女性堕胎的人造成了恐吓效应。在德克萨斯州等红州的蓝州城市，女性获得堕胎服务仍然面临巨大挑战，例如需要支付昂贵的旅行费用或冒着被起诉的风险。即使在堕胎合法化的州，反堕胎势力也通过各种法律手段，例如“陷阱法”，来限制堕胎服务的提供。 Jon Stewart：在反堕胎州，女性普遍感到恐惧和缺乏安全感。在支持堕胎的州，女性也感到不被重视和缺乏安全感。许多女性因为堕胎禁令而遭受身心痛苦，并因此改变了生育计划。政府强制女性怀孕的行为侵犯了她们的自主权。 Melissa Murray：法律手段无法有效解决堕胎权问题，而政治和选举手段更为重要。美国民主制度存在扭曲，这使得选民的意愿难以得到充分反映。通过积极参与选举，可以对抗民主制度的扭曲。关注州级法院和立法机构的选举至关重要。为了保护堕胎权，需要关注各个层级的选举，并推动州宪法修正案。 Jessica Valenti：堕胎权的支持者人数众多，这为争取堕胎权提供了希望。大多数美国人反对政府干预怀孕和堕胎。

Shownotes Transcript

The media may have you believe that the recent Supreme Court decision on Mifepristone was a win for reproductive rights. In reality, it merely upheld the current status quo – a drastic departure from the standard once set by Roe. And an onslaught of challenges, aimed at making abortion impossible, if not illegal, are on the horizon. Joining us to explore this regression we have Melissa Murray, NYU Law Professor and co-host of the Strict Scrutiny Podcast, and Jessica Valenti, founder of AbortionEveryDay.com) and author of the forthcoming book, Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win. Together, they discuss how our distorted democracy brought us to this moment, unpack the backward slide of abortion rights in America, and offer tips on what we can do to counter this trend.
