Shasta McManus calls herself a planner. She's worked in Democratic politics for over a decade,

spent six years on the board of Planned Parenthood in her adopted home state of Arizona. I got her

on the line because I wanted to know if she or someone she loved needed an abortion right

now. Did you have a plan for that? Yeah, I mean, I've been thinking about this a lot, mainly

because I had a friend that was pregnant and had to rush the procedure more than normal

and ended up getting her procedure done two days before the Supreme Court decision. And we

had very long discussions about what her options would be if she decided to wait a week.

It was very hard to hold someone's hand and have to, you know, have them rush. Were you

warning her? Were you like you should do it this week? Just because I don't know what's

going to happen. It wasn't necessarily a warning, but, you know, walking her through this

process, of course, had us thinking about what this looks like for every other pregnant

person in the state. Now that the decision is out, what the process looks like to get

an abortion in the state of Arizona is not great. It's unclear what's legal, what's not.
