‘Rewire’ Editor at Large Erin Matson Explains How Legal Abortion Is a Life-Sustaining Act

In response to outrage over a display at the University of Michigan referring to abortion as a “life-sustaining act,” Rewire Editor at Large Erin Matson explains to anti-choice advocate Kelsey Osterman of Red Alert Politics that legal abortion is in fact a life-sustaining act for pregnant people. As an example of how abortion can be life-saving, Matson discusses the case of Beatriz in El Salvador, who very nearly died without one last year.
