Podcast. Cover Up: The Pill Plot

In ‘Cover Up: The Pill Plot’, the host charts how the abortion pill, mifepristone, came to the U.S. in the 1990s. Episode six from the seven-part podcast series explores the lead up to its legalization and includes clips from an interview with Beverly Winikoff, founder and president of Gynuity Health Projects, who was on the team from Population Council helping to secure FDA-approval of mifepristone more than 20 years ago. Selected by The Guardian newspaper in a weekly round-up of best podcasts of the week, the podcast is freely and widely available.
