The Supreme Court says we have no right to our rights, and it leaves women to suffer. Mike looks at historic death rates from abortion and advances a constitutional argument to protect the youngest victims. We’re also joined by Ben Wittes, Editor In Chief of Lawfare to talk about the Senate’s Jan 6th hearings, discuss which version of stupid-versus-crazy best serves Trump as a legal defense, and what the costs of prosecution might be.
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court officially reversed Roe v. Wade, declaring that the constitutional right to abortion no longer exists. For nearly 50 years, Americans have had a constitutional right to an abortion. We're about to find out what the country looks like without one. The court's ruling doesn't mean a nationwide ban– it allows states to do what they want.
NPR's Nina Totenberg walks us through the ruling, and NPR's Sarah McCammon discusses the states where "trigger bans," or laws passed in anticipation of the Supreme Court's action, are already in place.
Roe vs. Wade protected the constitutional right to an abortion for nearly 50 years. Now that the Supreme Court has overturned it, at least 20 states are banning or putting extreme limitations on access to abortion.
The outcome was expected, but the country still erupted when the ruling posted — abortion opponents gathered in celebration while abortion-access advocates reacted with anger.
Over the last few months, The Times has looked at the issue of abortion from a number of perspectives to help understand how we got to this historic moment. Today, we revisit five episodes from “The Future of Abortion” series.
Listen to the full episodes here:
Future of Abortion Part 1: Medicine Dr. Warren Hern has performed abortions since before Roe vs. Wade. He speaks about his career — and the fears he has for the future.
Future of Abortion Part 2: Church The complicated story of how evangelicals mobilized around restricting abortion, and one Christian woman’s place in it all.
The Future of Abortion Part 3: Money How Texas has made it nearly impossible for low-income women to get an abortion. And how other states want to copy that.
The Future of Abortion, Part 4: Keeping It Pregnancy centers have grown in numbers with the backing of antiabortion religious organizations. What’s their future like in a post-Roe vs. Wade world?
The Future of Abortion, Part 5 : Law What went wrong with Roe vs. Wade and why the court’s effort to resolve the abortion controversy back in 1973 has instead led to decades of division.
Host: Gustavo Arellano
Guests: L.A. Times reporters Molly Hennessy-Fiske, Jaweed Kaleem and David G. Savage
In a much-anticipated decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, the Supreme Court reverses the constitutional right to an abortion Friday. Reset gets the latest from WBEZ public health and politics reporter Kristen Schorsh and Amanda Becker, Washington correspondent for The 19th News.
Death is inevitable, though many of us would rather not dwell on it. For those with a terminal illness, however, the end of life is clearly a more pressing reality.
CrowdScience listener Sam has known for a while that her illness is terminal, and by now she’s got used to the idea. But she finds many friends and family would rather avoid the subject at all costs; they don’t want to acknowledge what’s happening until it’s all over. She’s wondering if there’s a way to lighten up the topic of her approaching death, and create the openness she craves.
If we could learn to be more accepting of illness and dying, the end of life could be a more positive experience for all involved. So how can we face up to the impending death of a loved one, and best support that person in the process?
In search of answers, we talk a clinical psychologist about death anxiety, visit a death café, and learn about a scheme in India where whole communities are trained in caring for people at the end of life.
With Dr Rachel Menzies, Abigail Griffin, Dr Suresh Kumar and Rebecca Nellis. Thanks to Lola, Juan, Leon, Qayyah, Bessy, Madhumita, Ashley, Amaru, Mila and Sheila.

**We are releasing this episode one day early due to the breaking news** It’s official: The U.S. Supreme Court released its ruling Friday that overturns Roe v. Wade, which had guaranteed a woman’s right to an abortion for nearly 50 years. Now, it’ll be up to the states to decide whether to ban or restrict abortions. We’ve been expecting this decision ever since a draft opinion was leaked back in May. But today, we’re asking: what happens next?
Attorney Greer Donley tells us she expects "chaos” and “confusion" and is sharing the potential legal consequences of the Supreme Court ruling. She recently co-authored a paper published in the Columbia Law Review about this topic called “The New Abortion Battleground.”
We also get the response and reaction from the president of Texas Right to Life, who also has his doctorate in bioethics and health policy, Dr. John Seago.
On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Federalist Senior Editor David Harsanyi joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to analyze the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling and discuss what is next for the pro-life movement.
