  • #75 We're Gonna Talk About Abortion
    In this episode, Nate talks to his partner Alex McFarland about the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the Roe vs. Wade decision that protects the right to choose an abortion in the United States. Nate outlines the legal principles behind the case, and gets a perspective from Alex as someone who is directly affected by it. It's gonna be a little tough, but we do manage to have some fun so stick around! *Note, Nate messed up and mixed up the “Hodges” decision with the “Dobbs” decision, which was the one that overturned Roe vs. Wade. He messed up a few other things, but this is a free podcast. What more are you gonna ask for.
