Mary Ziegler is a law professor and expert on the law and politics of reproductive freedom. She joins Preet to discuss a recent ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that a federal program providing confidential family planning services cannot treat minors in Texas without parental consent. They break down the state and federal laws at issue, how this case might foreshadow future challenges to the right to contraception, and what to expect from the Supreme Court when it rules on nationwide access to mifepristone, the medication used in almost two-thirds of U.S. abortions.
