Roe v. Wade

Episode Summary

We made it folks--this week, we’re talking about that landmark 1973 case, Roe v. Wade. Hosts Jamia Wilson and Kate Kelly walk through Roe from beginning to end, and discover why this case is still affecting the way we talk about abortion, 48 years later.

Episode Notes

One of the most historic cases in the fight for reproductive justice was founded on the “penumbra” of cases that came before it--and it’s still one of the cornerstones of abortion law today.
