Oct 11, 2024
Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortion training at medical schools in more than a dozen states with near-total abortion bans has been severely limited. Now some medical students, many of whom attend prestigious schools, have chosen to travel out of state to attend workshops that teach them how to perform a manual vacuum aspiration. It’s a procedure used for patients seeking induced abortions, but also for those facing life threatening pregnancy complications. CNN was invited to a hotel conference room in Philadelphia to witness a training.

About

Alex is an Emmy-winning journalist and supervisor on CNN’s digital video team, where she reports, produces and presents compelling features, breaking news stories and innovative video specials for CNN.com.

Alex likes stories. Stories about ordinary Americans who’ll stop at nothing to find the missing. Stories about relationships that can’t be destroyed by prison bars. Stories about institutional injustice, conquered at last. Stories that analyze, line by line, just how a systematic sexual abuser got away with it for so long. A story that lets separated immigrant mothers speak for themselves, in their own hastily scrawled words.

Prior to CNN, Alex was a Multimedia Producer for United Nations Television. During her six-year stint at the UN, she spearheaded digital and social storytelling, covered human rights abuses, conflict and humanitarian crises, and reported from the field in Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia, among others.

Alex graduated from University College London with a BA in English Literature and gained her Masters degree at Columbia Journalism School in New York. She also holds a diploma in Broadcast Journalism from City University in London.
