Kate, Leah and Melissa get together for an emergency episode to discuss a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that indicates the justices are prepared to overrule the decisions protecting and reaffirming the constitutional right to an abortion.
Ravi, Cory, and Rikki begin with one of the biggest stories in recent memory: an unprecedented leak from the Supreme Court, signaling a major decision ahead that would overturn the court’s 1973 decision codifying abortion rights, Roe v. Wade. We then turn to the Department of Homeland Security’s mystifyingly named Disinformation Governance Board before wrapping up with our runthrough of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The right to an abortion in the United States appears closer than ever to being eliminated, after a draft of a majority opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked. Should it stand, the court's ruling wouldn't ban abortion nationwide, but would leave the decision up to individual states. Many Republican-led states are ready to enact their own bans, should Roe v. Wade be overturned, which could leave tens of millions of people without access to abortions.
