Intentionally vague laws surrounding abortion access are putting women at risk in states where the procedure has been banned. Kayte Spector-Bagdady, JD, MBioethics, CBSSM's Associate Director, tells WDET’s Russ McNamara that the pressure to do the ethical thing should not be on doctors, but on legislators and judges who are creating and enforcing laws that put women – and their clinicians – at risk.
