Abortion Bans Bring Back Painful Memories For One Rape Survivor

This summer, just weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the story of a 10-year-old girl in Ohio became a flashpoint in the national abortion debate.

The girl had become pregnant as a result of rape and had to travel across state lines to Indiana to get an abortion.

For one rape survivor, the case reminded her of what she lived through long ago, before Roe was the law the of the land. She spoke with NPR's Sarah McCammon about her experience.
