As the Supreme Court weighs whether to keep mifepristone available nationwide, we speak with Julie Burkhart, who is on the frontlines of the fight for reproductive justice. Burkhart is president of Wellspring Health Access, the only full-service abortion clinic in Wyoming, that was firebombed by an anti-abortion activist last year, as well as co-owner of Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois. Burkhart previously worked for eight years with Dr. George Tiller before his assassination in 2009. She describes the difficulties of providing abortion services in two states with different political and legal landscapes. “People in every part of this country deserve to have access to reproductive healthcare and to make their own decisions and determinations about their bodies,” says Burkhart. We also continue our conversation with law professor Michele Goodwin.
