12:43 am
put someone in the white house. >> reporter: you wouldn't know it if you met morgan today, but she says she was pro-abortion rights until a social media post changed that. >> i used to be pro-choice. i thought that was the normal stance to have. i came across a graphic photo of an aborted baby that just broke my heart. >> reporter: since then, the ohio native has devoted herself to the anti-abortion movement. volunteering at pregnancy resource centers -- >> we're on the abortion is not right tour. >> reporter: serving as president of her president's anti-abortion group, working with students for life, a nonprofit anti-abortion organization. organizing events on her campus where many students disagree. >> your religion shouldn't tell me what to do. everyone can make their own decisions. >> how has your activism in the anti-abortion movement impacted your life as a college student? >> one woman i don't even know, she sent me a death threat saying she was going to run me over with her car. it reinforces the position that
12:44 am
i have. >> reporter: permission in some ways an uphill bag. >> abortion access is the law of the land in ohio! >> reporter: we visited morgan shortly after the majority of voters in ohio voted to enshrine abortion rights into state's constitution. how much of a blow was that to the anti-abortion movement? >> so it was a letdown for sure. but much like all of our other loss, it's not the end all, be all. we did impact people through canvassing. >> reporter: morgan is not a loan. anti-abortion groups have gone laying the groundwork for decades. led by activists like kristin hawkins, president of students for life. >> the bottom line is abortion is a bloody business. it's absolutely abhorrent what we do to these children. >> 12-year-old girl gets raped, how do you feel about that, those sort of things? >> i'm against abortion in all cases. abortion is a discriminatory stance against another member of our species. >> at the end of my talk i'm going to go, "for we are."

12:47 am
abc news reporting on a post-roe america repeatedly shows that the new restrictions on abortion have endangered the lives pregnant women in their second and third trimesters. >> no one in the pro-life movement advocates if a mother's life is at risk and her child has died within her is no longer living, is no beating heart, that she must also perish as well, that doesn't make sense. >> reporter: the law says one thing. in reality, it looks like something else. is there something wrong right now with the status? >> i say we have a challenge where we have ob-gyns in this country who are abortion advocates. they're putting their politics over safety and priority. >> reporter: while there's no evidence of that, there is data showing that most ob-gyns say the overturning of roe has worsened their ability to manage pregnancy-related emergencies. a majority of them say they're very or somewhat concerned about their own legal risk when making decisions about patient care and
