Our Abortion Rights Special Edition
New York is a bastion of support for women’s reproductive rights. But this isn’t stopping anti-abortion activists from trying to undermine the right to choose. In our new issue, Indy reporter Yastika Guru infiltrated several crisis pregnancy centers to experience firsthand how the religious zealots who run them use misinformation and scare tactics to deter pregnant people from seeking an abortion.
