After Dobbs decision, more women are managing their own abortions
Synopsis
NBC reporter Lauren Dunn set out to talk to a few of the thousands of Americans who are comfortably and safely self-managing their abortions at home since Roe v. Wade was overturned. She sits down with women like Kaniya, a college student in Maryland, who discovered she was pregnant in the middle of her spring semester finals and who was able to self-manage her abortion at home, comforted by her friends, using abortion pills provided by an abortion advocacy organization.
