WTF Is Going on With the Texas Abortion Ban?

Buckle up—we're taking you to Texas this week.

Hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy unpack the current state of abortion access in Texas (we’re using the word “access” loosely here.) 

They break down what the courts have done over the last few months as cases challenging the law have ping-ponged between the federal district and circuit courts and the Supreme Court. The TL;DR: It's not great! 

Mentioned in the episode:

• Rewire News Group's virtual, subscriber-only event hosted by Jess
• In Utah Jails, a Rare Reproductive Rights Bright Spot Emerges
• These 5 Cases Could Finish Off Abortion Rights for Good
