Host Corrie Woods interviews attorney, professor, and Executive Director of the Women's Law Project Susan Frietsche to discuss Allegheny Reproductive Health Center v. Department of Human Services, which, among many constitutional holdings, overruled an earlier determination that a ban on abortion funding for Medicaid recipients did not violate Pennsylvania constitutional rights and set the stage for a recognition of reproductive rights as fundamental rights under the Commonwealth's charter.
