Bonus: What’s at Stake: Roe v. Wade

Episode Summary

It’s very possible Roe v. Wade could be overturned within the year. In light of the Mississippi abortion ban currently making its way through the Supreme Court, we’re bringing back our episode from season 2 that examines the landmark case--how it came to be, what exactly it established, and where it’s vulnerable to legal attacks.

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.
