The Decision To Cut Abortion Meds And A Push To Strengthen Harm Reduction, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, Chris Schulz examines a decision from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals this week to allow limits on the sale of abortion medications – even those medications that the FDA has deemed to be safe and effective. It partially comes down to a separation of state and federal rights. But there’s more. 

Plus, harm reduction programs are controversial – and opponents often point to figures that suggest they aren’t particularly effective. But supporters have studied practices in Appalachia and say some of the programs aren’t broad enough to reach the population that most needs their help.
