Ukraine: The Handoff

2024-12-24 22:10:44 source:lotradecoin versus ftx comparison category:reviews

In Part 1 of our series, we followed the surreptitious journey of abortion pills into Ukraine in the early months after the Russian invasion.

In this second part, Rough Translation host Gregory Warner and reporter Katz Laszlo land in Lviv, Ukraine, on a fall night during a citywide blackout, to continue following the pills, and find out about the doctors and patients who needed them.

As the pills spread out across Ukraine, their story changes shape, and brings them – along with Radiolab host Molly Webster – into complicated conversations about pregnancy and choice in a time of war.
