But we should resist falling too far into that narrative, [write Esther Choo](. As a physician, Choo urges us to look at reproductive rights in terms of what we can do — from providing support within our own communities to reaching out to the local abortion organizations that are truly in the trenches, and whose staff continue to provide abortion care. [Choo writes](, "As the battle over abortion roils on, it’s worth keeping in mind that how we speak about topics has tremendous power to shape how we think about them, and subsequently, how we are inspired to act."

Watch Symone, today at 4 p.m. ET on MSNBC.   Title 42 is a decades-old and rarely used public health order used to bar people with medical conditions from entering the country. Revived by the Trump administration, it enables immigration authorities to swiftly expel migrants to Mexico or their home countries. The enforcement of the policy, which also bars individuals from seeking asylum, continues to be met with skepticism by immigration advocates and public health officials. The Biden administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently announced plans to end Title 42 by May 23, now that vaccines are widely available. But the fate of the policy remains in limbo because of Republican-backed lawsuits and opposition to its cessation. Thomas Saenz is president and general counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund. He joins WITHpod to discuss the role of misinformation in the characterization of migrants, immigration and refugee policy reform and the implications of a potential continuation (or end) of Title 42.
