New book 'Personhood' examines reproductive rights battle

Season 2025 Episode 125 | 8m 28s

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the victory spurred advocates' pursuit of fetal personhood. That’s legislation that asserts that life begins at fertilization and establishes constitutional protections for embryos and fetuses. Amna Nawaz discussed this latest frontier of the anti-abortion movement with Mary Ziegler, author of “Personhood: The New Civil War over Reproduction.”
