Heartbeat Laws, Moral Injury, and the Fallout in Georgia

In this episode of Paging America, Miles and Dr. Rob sit down with OBGYN, author, and advocate Dr. Mimi Zieman to discuss the Adriana Smith case, a deeply tragic situation at the intersection of medical ethics, abortion bans, and political overreach in Georgia.

Plus, RFK, Jr. is poised to re-review the abortion pill mifepristone, citing a non-peer-reviewed study published by a right-wing think tank that uses “study laundering” to further their agenda. Tune in now.

Background reading:

• The Guardian: Fetus of brain-dead Georgia woman kept alive due to abortion ban is growing, says family

• Missouri Senator Josh Hawley secures commitment from RFK Jr. to review new data on the chemical abortion drug mifepristone. Watch here.

• The Atlantic: The “alarming new data” comes from a junk science paper from a Washington, D.C.–based think tank focused on “pushing back against the extreme progressive agenda while building a consensus for conservatives”
